State led Urban Regeneration Transforming

项目摘要

While cities all around the world are going through a process of urban regeneration promising prosperity, not everyone equally benefits from these developments. What is even more alarming is state involvement in facilitating this exclusion through hard and soft measures. Within this context, my PhD examined the state role in implementing urban regeneration in Turkey, focusing on a municipal squatter transformation project in Ankara during 2006-2015. It had been a turbulent decade of growing state power and the housing policies were radically revised with the initiatives of the ruling government. This led to mass demolitions of vast squatter settlements, and resettlement of the inhabitants in the mass housing units in the city's peripheries, rather than their displacement. The ethnographic and documentary research demonstrated that squatter dwellers were invited to benefit from state-led urban regeneration should they remain allegiant to state policies, while opposing/alternative claims to urban regeneration were criminalized and punished. Thus, urban regeneration was linked to the government's political project of creating an obedient citizenry, which underpins the growing authoritarianism over the last decade in Turkey. There are three core objectives of the fellowship, which contribute towards my goal of an academic career that informs research and activism. The first is to contribute to and extend the academic scholarship by disseminating, through 3 publications, conference presentations and an overseas visit to urban researchers in the Netherlands, my PhD research in a new area of scholarship investigating the role of urban redevelopment in facilitating the growing authoritarianism. The second aim is to apply for research funding for a comparative project that builds on a key theme on my PhD that urban regeneration influences remaking of citizenship as well as the built environment of cities. During the fellowship, I will develop a proposal for the three-year fully-funded postdoctoral research fellowship of Urban Studies Foundation (October, 2021). This post-fellowship project will explore state-sponsored regeneration of public/squatter housing in Turkey, UK and the Netherlands through ethnographic research. Investigating urban regeneration from the perspective of the state in European and non-European settings will take the contribution of my PhD further and enhance the scholarship of urban regeneration through combining insights from western and non-western cases. The third aim of the fellowship is to inform and impact on the work of activists and community organizations working in housing and urban policy. The ethnographic fieldwork in my PhD project provided insight into the potential -as well as limits- of housing struggles in mobilizing citizens as rights-claimers who can contest authoritarian state practices. Building on prior contacts in Ankara and York, I will organize a panel session within the Turkish Social Sciences Association annual conference (November, Ankara); and a public panel in York (May 2021) that will generate coalitions of likeminded activists and practitioners across different regions. Both will lead to publication of open-access online reports outlining the research findings and outcomes of these public engagements. These reports can assist activists and community organizations to understand the mediating role of housing policies and struggles in reframing citizenship in line with the global resurgence of populist authoritarianism and nativist claims, and mobilize more effective activism.

虽然世界各地的城市都在经历城市更新带来繁荣的过程，但并不是每个城市都能从这些发展中受益。更令人担忧的是，政府通过软硬措施参与了这种排斥。在此背景下，我的博士研究了国家在土耳其实施城市更新中的作用，重点是2006-2015年安卡拉的一个市政棚户区改造项目。这是一个动荡的十年，国家权力不断增长，随着执政政府的倡议，住房政策被彻底修改。这导致大量棚户区被拆除，居民被重新安置在城市外围的大型住房单元中，而不是流离失所。人种学和文献研究表明，如果寮屋居民仍然忠于国家政策，他们就可以从国家主导的城市更新中受益，而反对/替代城市更新的主张则被定为犯罪并受到惩罚。因此，城市再生与政府创造服从公民的政治项目联系在一起，这是过去十年土耳其日益增长的威权主义的基础。奖学金有三个核心目标，它们有助于实现我的学术生涯目标，为研究和行动提供信息。首先是通过3份出版物，会议演讲和对荷兰城市研究人员的海外访问，为学术奖学金的传播做出贡献和扩展，我的博士研究是在一个新的学术领域研究城市重建在促进日益增长的威权主义中的作用。第二个目标是为一个比较项目申请研究资金，该项目建立在我博士的一个关键主题上，即城市再生影响公民身份的重塑以及城市的建筑环境。在此期间，我将向城市研究基金会（2021年10月）申请三年全额博士后研究奖学金。这个博士后项目将通过人种学研究探索土耳其、英国和荷兰国家资助的公共/棚户区住房再生。从欧洲和非欧洲国家的角度来研究城市更新将进一步发挥我的博士学位，并通过结合西方和非西方案例的见解来加强城市更新的学术研究。该研究金的第三个目标是向从事住房和城市政策工作的活动家和社区组织提供信息并对其工作产生影响。在我的博士项目中，人种学的田野调查让我深入了解了住房斗争在动员公民作为权利主张者来对抗专制国家实践方面的潜力和局限性。基于之前在安卡拉和约克的接触，我将在土耳其社会科学协会年会（11月，安卡拉）期间组织一次小组会议；以及在约克（2021年5月）举行的一个公共小组会议，将形成不同地区志同道合的活动家和从业者的联盟。这两项工作都将导致出版开放获取的在线报告，概述这些公共活动的研究成果和成果。这些报告可以帮助活动家和社区组织了解住房政策和斗争在重塑公民身份方面的调解作用，以符合民粹主义威权主义和本土主义主张的全球复苏，并动员更有效的行动主义。
