Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı neoliberal zihniyetin nasıl
işlediğini ortaya koymak ve bu zihniyetin nasıl bir kent tasavvuruna sahip
olduğunu deşifre etmeye çalışmaktır. Bunu yaparken öncelikle neoliberalizmin
hangi düşünsel kaynaklardan beslendiğini göstermeyi amaçlayan bu çalışma aynı
zamanda neoliberal zihniyetin yoksulluğu nasıl algıladığını da açıklamaya çalışmaktadır.
Son olarak neoliberal kentleşme ve bu anlayışın bir yansıması olarak küresel
kent oluşumuna teorik bir açıdan göz atan bu çalışma yoksulluğun nasıl göz ardı
edilip sessizliğe itildiğini ele almaktadır.

Why Does Neoliberalism need Poverty in Urban Areas?

Abstract

This study aims to decipher how neoliberal mentality
functions and how it shapes the cities and the urban life. While doing this,
the study also attempts to illustrate the theoretical and intellectual foundations
of neoliberal mentality, and at the end it tries to understand how this
mentality perceives and identifies the phenomenon of poverty. In the last
instance, neoliberal urbanization and the formation of global cities as the
reflection of neoliberal urbanization are scrutinized with a theoretical way to
understand how poverty has been made invisible with several strategies of
neoliberalism.
