Since evolution of &ldquo / global cities&rdquo / is based on private financial actors forming the
global economic network, these cities are confronting not only lifestyle changes,
but also architectural and urban transformations. An important urban element
produced by cities in the global economic network is the new central business
district, which house vertical building forms with high demographic density. As a
complex urban element serving for national and international arena as service
center of liberal economy and an urban prestige symbol of the city, design and
planning process of new central business districts is gaining priority to solve
complexity of its structure considering public use.
The aim of this study is to explore the physical public space due to be created in
the new central business district in Istanbul, which has been developing along the
Bü / yü / kdere Avenue. Critically concentrating on its design and the planning process
and future strategies in a comparative study with other global city examples of Paris, Berlin and Singapore, which have been giving specialized priority to the
planning phase and future strategies for their new central business district
developments, it is aimed to develop a substantial basis for the conceptualization
of how the new central business district can be implemented in Istanbul.
