Sequences of Threshold Spaces Formed by the Gecekondu in the City

Abstract

The development of cities is shaped by crises arising from the dynamics that bring them into existence. In order to resolve these crises and to ensure that cities follow healthier development processes, it is necessary to develop unique insights and ways of doing about the formation of cities. With this understanding, this article analyses the gecekondu in terms of its creative formations in the context of urban spatial production, and examines it through the threshold spatial systems it creates in the city. In the first part of the article, which is structured in two main sections, the research on gecekondu is deepened and the necessity of addressing its creative aspects in the context of urban spatial production is explained. With the argument that the creativity of gecekondu can be read in the context of the thresholds it creates in the city, the commonalities between two are identified and a conceptual framework for reading gecekondu through thresholds is developed. In the second section, the thresholds created by gecekondu in the city are examined in physical and socio-cultural contexts, and visual and conceptual mappings are conducted to reveal formation areas, forms of relation, action patterns, and spatial attributes. The mappings, carried out in the context of three sections the thresholds in gecekondu from different perspectives. Finally, the original aspects and the creative formations that gecekondu can inspire within the context of urban spatial production are discussed, and the potential contributions that can inspire urbanization, urban planning, and policy-making processes are evaluated.
