Within the scope of ILEM Policy Notes, Yunus Çolak has written a study titled The Political Dimension of Urban Transformation. Çolak states that urban transformation needs to be realized with principles that make sense of the politicization of society instead of triggering political problems for a healthy urban life. In addition, the author, who offers some suggestions for urban transformation by focusing on the principles of consultation and equity, emphasizes the necessity of thinking more about the political legitimacy of urban transformation and the public adoption of various principles in this regard. This comprehensive analysis, which sheds light on the future of cities based on the consequences of urban transformation in terms of its reflections on society, also offers important clues about the political aspects of the issue.
