Abstract

Entrepreneurial and growth‐oriented urban development models see left‐behind areas as opportunities in need of redevelopment and upgrading, which can be subjected to speculation. We argue that pathbreaking trajectories emerge during this redevelopment process in distinct ways depending on the adaptive capacity of urban communities and flexibility in the planning practices. Focusing on the squatter areas in Istanbul, we map out pathbreaking trajectories in institutional and policy contexts and unravel societal responses. We conclude that the authoritarian entrepreneurial governance landscape operates in a dual context in which its impacts on re‐politicization of urban communities and their engagement with policy networks can vary. Los modelos de desarrollo urbano empresarial y orientado al crecimiento consideran las zonas dejadas de lado como oportunidades para la reurbanización y la mejora, y que pueden ser objeto de especulación. Se sostiene que las trayectorias pioneras surgen con formas diversas durante este proceso de reurbanización, dependiendo de la capacidad de adaptación de las comunidades urbanas y de la flexibilidad de la planificación en la práctica. El estudio se centra en las zonas de ocupación ilegal de Estambul, donde se identifican trayectorias pioneras en contextos institucionales y políticos y se desentrañan las respuestas sociales. Se llega a la conclusión de que el panorama de la gobernanza empresarial autoritaria opera en un contexto dual en el que pueden variar sus efectos sobre la repolitización de las comunidades urbanas y su compromiso con las redes políticas. 起業モデルと成長志向の都市開発モデルは、後進地域を再開発と高度化を必要とする機会と見なしており、それは投機の対象となりうる。本稿では、この再開発プロセスの間に、都市コミュニティの適応能力と計画実務における柔軟性によって、明確な方法で解決への道筋が現れることを述べる。イスタンブールの不法占拠地域に注目し、制度的・政策的な文脈における道筋を示し、社会的対応を明らかにする。結論として、権威主義的な企業家統治の状況は、都市コミュニティの再政治化と政策ネットワークへの関与に対するその影響が異なる二重の文脈において作用している。
