Evaluation of Gaziantep and Aleppo as Twin Cities

Öz

The study evaluates Gaziantep and Aleppo as twin cities due to their proximity on both sides of the Turkish-Syrian border, as well as their close economic, social, and cultural ties. In this study, the impact of the mutual relationship on the history and urban development processes of the two cities was examined, with a focus on comparing urban expansion during the Ottoman period to the period following the two towns' split. By conducting a detailed literature review, the concepts of twin city and twinning were emphasized, and the similarities were revealed by evaluating the historical development of the two cities. After revealing the unique relationship between the cities of Gaziantep and Aleppo, as well as the challenges faced in establishing effective collaboration between them, it has become apparent that there is a requirement for joint urban, economic, and cultural initiatives to enhance the regional standing of both cities. To address this, a twinning project model has been developed by proposing a range of solutions in this direction. The proposed twinning project between Gaziantep and Aleppo will offer many advantages, but if it is not well organized, problems such as workforce imbalance are likely to arise. Therefore, matching should be thoroughly researched and matching-related issues should be regularly monitored to achieve common goals.
