Neoliberalism is an important phenomenon which can be understood by examining socio-cultural context, political priorities, management mentalities, and projects. It has a wide influence on global to right down to intra-subjective web of relationships. An analysis of the neoliberal condition helps us to understand a wide range of contemporary cultural occurrences, because neoliberalism reasserts itself as a restructuration project, acting as a powerful force on material life. These projects can, accordingly, be context-dependent, insofar as they are considered to be products of the national, regional, and local contexts, defined and limited by the legacies of inherited institutional frameworks, policy regimes, regulatory practices, and political struggles. Some examples of this influence can be examined by: Istanbul’s Capital of Culture nomination in 2010, international cultural events like Biennial, and gentrification projects. This study aims to provide a comprehensive discussion on neoliberalism and examine its socio-cultural influence on urban spaces via evaluating some examples.

Neoliberalleşme sosyo-kültürel etkiler, siyasi öncelikler, yönetim zihniyetleri ve projeleri ile etkileşim ve kesişim içindedir. Bu özelliğiyle neoliberalizm hem bireysel hem de toplumsal deneyimlerle ortaya çıkan bağlam bağımlı ilişkiler ağı olarak tanımlanabilmektedir. Neoliberalizmin etkilerini anlatan tek bir tanımlama olmayıp, neoliberalizm gücünü “hibrit (karma) yönetim biçimi veya bağlam bağımlı bir düzenleme uygulaması” olarak ekonomik ve yönetim mantığından almaktadır. Neoliberalizm, günlük hayatımızda etkin bir güç olarak kendini göstermektedir. Şehirlere kültür aracılığıyla yabancı sermayeyi çeken; bienaller gibi uluslararası kültür sanat etkinlikleri, kentsel dönüşümle soylulaştırılan projelerle ya da İstanbul örneğinde küresel sermayenin artan hareketliliğine karşılık veren kentin 2010 yılında İstanbul Kültür Başkenti seçilmesi, bu etkiyi değerlendirebileceğimiz örnekler olarak düşünülebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, neoliberalizmin tanımlamasına kapsamlı bir tartışma sunarak, şehir kültür alanlarında yarattığı örnekleri değerlendirmektir.
