Assembling gentrification in Istanbul: The Cihangir neighbourhood of Beyoğlu

Abstract: This paper aims to contribute to the gentrification literature through the potentials of assemblage thinking. We focus on gentrification in Istanbul, which represents the characteristics of both the Global South and North, and use assemblages to link together gentrification and the temporal scales of Istanbul’s urbanisation as well as geographical scales of gentrification around the world. Approaching gentrification as a continual process of transformation and emergence, we intend to illuminate how assemblages… Show more

“…In Beyoğlu, gentrification, based on tourism and a booming entertainment sector, has been an issue since the 1990s (Uzun 2003;Eder and Öz 2015;Yetişkul and Demirel 2018). However, until the law 5366 'on the protection of deteriorated historic and cultural heritage through renewal and re-use' was introduced in 2005, residential displacement in the district remained limited to certain neighbourhoods and gentrification proceeded rather slowly.…”

“…The first wave began in the 1980s, when the number of highly paid professionals in the city skyrocketed and housing demand within the central districts saw an increase. Indeed, the gentrification of Istanbul is of particularly salience for places like Cihangir (part of Beyoğlu), Ortaköy, Kuzguncuk (places by the Bosporus), Galata, Tünel (part of Beyoğlu), Fener, and Balat (Coskun & Yalcin, 2007; Ergün, 2004; Şen, 2005; Yetiskul & Demirel, 2018). These are among Istanbul's once non‐Muslim residential areas.…”

“…As an unintended consequence of international tourism and because of the immense expansion of a new white-collar middle class, the inner-city neighbourhoods experienced rapid and extensive gentrification (Bezmez, 2008; Ergun, 2004; Öz and Eder, 2018; Yetiskul and Demirel, 2018). Meanwhile, a belated white-flight of sorts took place as the wealthy and powerful sought a way to disentangle themselves from the perceived threat of crime.…”
