- Abstract
With its 2500 years of historical heritage, Istanbul is situated on a privileged location where the two continents meet. Further to this unique characteristic, the city comprises a wide palette of natural and cultural values like the Historic Peninsula, the Golden Horn and the Bosphorus. Since the 1970s, part of that heritage have been listed and thus been under protection. However, since the second half the past century in particular, Istanbul has become a magnet for investments and people, with the result that these heritage sites are now under an ongoing pressure of rapid urban growth and urban regeneration. This paper attempts to provide an overview of Turkeys conservation history, by placing an emphasis on risks in the planning of conservation areas in Istanbul. It is based on a study conducted by the authors in 2005-2006. In this study Istanbul's all conservation areas were documented, digitalized and transferred into the Strategic Master Plan of Istanbul which was prepared at 1/100.000 scale. This paper makes a spatial and quantitative analysis of the city's natural, archeological, historical and urban conservation areas, all of which have been listed since the 1970s-when Turkey's conservation legislation was expanded beyond the scale of single buildings. It also attempts to shed light to the problematic processes concerning Istanbul's World Heritage Sites.
