It is a common issue for many cities over the world to maintain and preserve any historical and cultural assets by means of physical, social and economic improvement of the blighted zones created by the outmoded historical centrums that are far from meeting the today needs, unsecure, and prone to disasters. In Istanbul, one of the zones that need to be preserved is the Neslişah and Hatice Sultan (Sulukule) district in the historical peninsula. This settlement has recently undergone radical changes by the urban transformation project. This study aims at elaborating any historical, cultural, economic and social assets of the old district inducing large scale changes in the Sulukule District, followed by a theoretical clarification of the urban transformation, urban renewal definitions, types and application methods. The samples studied include a number of world cities including Alberobello in Italy, Nuremberg in Germany, Mostar in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Safranbolu in Turkey, which are all comparable to the changes experienced in Sulukule. The regional history, the “Roman” population living in the settlement, and the pre- and post-transformation settlement are analyzed to determine any possible losses of historical, social, economic and cultural assets due to the project in question. historical territories. Among such restorations, Sulukule is to be particularly elaborated, as it takes place on the preservation zone of the territorial waters of the Peninsula of Istanbul, i.e. the world heritage fields, and in the oldest “Roman” settlements over the world, and is the first field of this process of initiating the large-scale urban transformation in Istanbul.
