Fostering Knowledge on Regeneration Strategies in Shrinking Cities: A Cross-European Comparative Study of New Patterns of Urban Development in Izmir City Region as a Result of Simultaneous Processes of Urban Sprawl, Agglomeratıon, Decline and Shrinkage

Summary: As part of the COST ACTION TU0803 Cities Re-growing Smaller (CIRES): Fostering Knowledge on Regeneration Strategies in Shrinking Cities across Europe, the aim of this project was to document and describe the processes of ‘urban sprawl’, ‘urban growth’, ‘urban decline’ and ‘urban shrinkage’ with reference to Izmir-the third important city region in Turkey which has been experiencing the processes of ‘urban sprawl’, ‘urban growth’, ‘urban decline’ and ‘urban shrinkage’ simultaneously. The project aimed to identify these four processes, the dynamics behind, and differences and similarities with other European cities from the 15 partners of the COST Action TU0803 “Cities Regrowing Smaller-Fostering Knowledge on Regeneration Strategies in Shrinking Cities Across Europe”. In so doing, the main aim of the project was to contribute to the COST Action TU0803 in developing new policies and strategies for the regeneration of shrinking cities. The main contribution of the project to the COST Action TU0803 is to bring the argument that ‘these seemingly contrasting processes are embedded in one another where urban agglomeration and sprawl are accompanied by urban shrinkage and decline, and hence should be managed simultaneously’.
