In the 1980s, Laws No: 2981 and 3290 were putting forward important amount of
development rights creation by improvement plans. This promise of development by party
politics provided potential of political rent. This study will not take into account this political
rent created but the realization of this development promised.
The development by improvement plans could not be realized. In some areas, transformation
from gecekondu to apartment blocks occurred by the hands of market mechanism and
construction sector. However in some areas, the intervention of the public sector was
necessary for transformation.
The aim of this study is to discuss the planning and development issues under the mixed
economies through dynamics of urban transformation and the phenomena of urban non-transformation
in areas where development rights by improvement plans were assigned in
the case of Ankara city under a comparative approach. The comparative case study puts
forward the existing situation as a concrete problem and analyzing it with reference to direct
observation, interviews with various actors, historicity (historical development of Ankara
macroform among inter-relations between planning decisions, macroeconomy and legal
regulations thus public and capital) and the quantitative data.
Then, improvement planning in Turkish case is evaluated by reference to similar World
examples. This evaluation leads us to the inter-relational concepts of public policy and rent
concerning gecekondu improvement thus to the evaluation of improvement areas by
reference to rent concept and Turkish urban land and housing market covering the urban
growth and capital accumulation issues. Then the study is concluded.
