“…Urban renewal and revitalization strategies are excellent options for stopping extinction and starting revival, considering not only physical components but also social and economic components [170,173]. Pontrandolfi and Manganelli [174] advocate that the spectrum of interventions ranges from finding compromises between protection and residents' needs to changing purpose with compatible, usually commercial, cultural, touristic, or public functions.…”

In the era of urbanization, small towns confront challenges in sustaining and preserving their essence and population. Historical towns have discovered their potential in tourism development, yet this opportunity often escalates into overtourism, particularly in renowned cruising destinations. This paper focuses on examples of coastal historical towns dependent on tourism revenue and faced with an excessive influx of tourists in the Mediterranean Region. The objective is to examine various cases across diverse geographical, cultural, and policy contexts to evaluate their success in achieving a balance between economic development and genius loci. This analysis seeks to identify the factors that contributed to the attainment of this equilibrium. Therefore, we selected case studies throughout the Mediterranean coast—from Saint Paul de Vence and Èze at the Azure Coast, Dubrovnik and Kotor in the Adriatic Sea, to Nafplio and Monemvasia in the Aegean Sea. The selected examples range from towns that are almost entirely depopulated to those that are suffocating from the influx of tourists. Observations on the spot and review of policies led us to the conclusion that the geography of the area and cultural values represent comparative (dis)advantages that can be influenced and shaped by policies from the time of the pre-tourist phase to the phase of overtourism. Even though the success of an early policy and the effects of investments aligned with it might be uncertain, pre-tourist policies turn out to be the most successful when it comes to balanced tourist-resident development. Determination of authorities to not only see economic benefit but also genius loci and quality of life of residents is crucial, too.

“…Kentlerde merkezi konumda bulunan, yüksek gelir grubunun yerleşim yeri haline gelen, diğerlerinden daha fazla değere sahip olan topraklar, sahiplerine bir güç de getirmektedir (Ayman Güler, 1992;Ökmen ve Yurtsever, 2010). Bu nedenle, kentlerin yeniden düzenlenmesinde ve çeşitli kentsel problemlerin çözümünde bölge ve şehir planlarının yanı sıra kentsel dönüşüm uygulamaları önemli bir araç olarak kullanılmaktadır (Akkar, 2006;Donnison, 1993;Granger, 2010;Pontrandolfi ve Manganelli, 2018).…”

The concepts of "sustainability" and "resilience" have become current issues with the emergence of problems such as industrialization, population growth, rapid consumption of resources, and the climate crisis in recent years. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic experience all over the world has also revealed that urban areas where people live extremely together must be planned and transformed in a sustainable and resilient manner. Urban regeneration projects are among the most frequently used tools in the reorganization of urban areas, renewal of aging urban structures. Also, urban regeneration projects are expected to make a significant contribution to designing more sustainable and resilient urban areas. However, in Turkey, it is observed that private property and urban rent issues can be a pressure factor in the re-planning of public and non-public areas in urban regeneration projects. For this reason, private property rights and limits should be determined accurately in urban regeneration projects and new urbanization models. In this paper, it is discussed how private property and urban rent can be handled in urban regeneration according to housing and population densities, what their limitations can be, and how they should be included in legal regulations.

“…This approach becomes a gateway to implementing NU in urban regeneration (Larsen 2005;Talen 2006). Clearly, each specific place has its particular conditions, but in the urban regeneration process, a number of general principles and good practices can be adjusted to resolve urban problems (Agirbas 2020;Falanga 2019;Pontrandolfi and Manganelli 2018;Dusza-Zwolińska and Kiepas-Kokot 2018;Ricciardelli 2017;Roberts 2008). This article accepts the definition of revitalisation as an integrated process for social and economic recovery, including the improvement of physical and environmental conditions (Lichfield 1992;Hemphill, McGreal, and Berry 2002;Lorens 2010;Parysek 2015;Bottero and Mondini 2017).…”

Walking should be one of the primary modes of transportation in sustainable cities, being more environmentally friendly, sociable, and health conscious. The principles of New Urbanism (NU) promote walkability, creating urban patterns that support the needs of pedestrians. With that in mind, this study aims to define the relationship between walkability and NU in the context of urban regeneration, establishing the urban attributes that influence walkability in the revival of post-industrial areas. The research comes from a statistical analysis of the flow of people in Księży Młyn (Poland) and a field study from Carré de Soie (France) where urban attributes potentially determining walkability were evaluated. The study confirms that pedestrian traffic and urban form can be optimised through a holistic approach. It sets out the relationship between walkability and various phenomena, including i) social-how users behave in public spaces (the role of pedestrians and cars), and to whom the space is dedicated; ii) economic-how the attractiveness of the service and commercial offer are improving, and how real estate prices are changing; and iii) environmental-how the visual attractiveness of the place and the convenience of the space for pedestrians has improved (shop frontage and accessibility).
