UPSCALE RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS IN UMURBEY İZMİR: POPULAR DISCOURSES AND RELATION WITH THE PLACE

Öz

This paper focuses on Umurbey district located close to the central city and the port of Izmir. The industrial, architectural and cultural heritage dating back to the beginning of 19th century; the social value of the place including daily life activities, use of the streets as common spaces and distinguished examples of civil architecture; the inhabitants with strong social memory, the craftsmen, mechanics and artists living in Umurbey have made the neighborhood significant in the city of Izmir. At Umurbey, the Master Plan of 2003, along with subsequent revisions and capital investments in the region paved the way for urban transformation and gentrification, primarily (the former) by defining the new main functions for the district as “tourism, trade, and culture” and (the letter) by shifting these main functions from this triad to residential means. In the last five years, three upscale residential projects developed in and on the edge of Umurbey. Whereas these three projects are currently under construction, the advertorial images and texts of the two projects are visible. This paper, using grounded theory as the main methodology to analyze the advertorial texts and images produced with populist commercial concerns, unveils new spatial and social dynamics in the area. Questioning the spatial bases of the “proposed imaginary life” in the new housing concepts, the study attempts to reveal the conflicts as well as contradictions of the popular discourses and socio-spatial value of Umurbey related to the municipal strategies for the city of Izmir. The article briefly draws upon urbanization literature closely linked to capital investments as its theoretical foundation. It discusses the themes identified through analysis and collectively evaluates these partial discussions in the conclusion, utilizing the concept of “habitus”. This study may contribute to the contextual re-reading of urban dynamics including popular upscale residential projects and their relation to political and socio-cultural issues in the former industrial and port neighborhoods in Izmir, in Türkiye, and in general.
