Protection of Urban Rights within the Council of Europe System: A Comparative Analysis of Ankara and Madrid

Öz

This article examines urban rights as the spatial realization of universal human rights and local-democracy standards within the Council of Europe (CoE) system, rather than as nationality-based privileges. The study compares Ankara and Madrid to assess how CoE norms are translated into domestic law, municipal institutions, and rights-sensitive urban governance. Methodologically, the article adopts a qualitative comparative case-study design based on a coded documentary dataset. Treaty texts, ECtHR case law, Congress monitoring reports, national legal provisions, municipal strategic plans, open-data platforms, participation instruments, and selected policy-output documents are coded across five dimensions: participation and transparency, social rights and housing, environment and quality of life, non-discrimination and inclusion, and digital rights/data protection. The scoring used in the comparative matrix is explicitly defined as a qualitative indicator of normative and institutional alignment; it is not a measurement of social outcomes or service performance. The findings show that Madrid displays stronger institutionalization through fuller social-rights supervision, a decentralized governance setting, EU data-protection and open-government layers, participatory budgeting, open-data practices, accessibility planning, social-service strategies, and climate-governance tools. Ankara has a significant constitutional basis for CoE standards and visible municipal instruments such as the city council, open-data initiatives, social-service programmes, equality planning, and climate-related planning; however, central-local competence overlaps, limited binding feedback loops, and the absence of regularly budgeted participatory decision mechanisms constrain local implementation. The article concludes by proposing a rights-based monitoring framework for Ankara that links participation, open data, social rights, environmental governance, inclusion, and digital-rights impact assessment.
