“…Starting in the 1950s, Istanbul became an 'exploding city' of immigrants (Enlil 2011). During these years, squatting was a principal housing strategy for low-income groups and immigrants (Heper 1977), especially given the state's historically inadequate social housing policies.…”

There is growing interest in the transformation of urban citizenship and the changing right to the city of the urban poor under neoliberal restructuring of cities in the Global South. This article examines a 'squatter settlement transformation project' in Istanbul that is intended to contribute towards the transformation of Istanbul into a global city. The transformation projects are based on private homeownership, incorporate the urban poor into a new 'property regime' and allocate them differentiated access to housing in the city. Using qualitative data, this article traces the unequal outcomes of the project for its displaced residents and demonstrates the emergence of 'differentiated urban citizenship'. This emergent urban citizenship regime in Turkish cities organizes the distribution of substantive housing rights based on social inequalities among the urban poor, and thus consolidates and perpetuates these inequalities in society.

“…Thus, looking at the interconnectedness of different parts of the city explains how interstitial spaces operate. Studies on recent developments of Istanbul (Dinçer, 2011;Enlil, 2011;Kurtuluş, 2005;Terzi & Kaya, 2011), do not, however, explain how different layers, approaches and ideas create a comprehensive picture of the city. Also, little is known about how interstices alter the citizens' daily routine activities.…”

As palimpsests of multiple layers of historic, geo-political, and socioeconomic complexity, contemporary cities demand innovative methods of deciphering and unraveling their development. Typically referred to as reading the city, these methods of delayering and synthesizing urban complexity have, for long, preoccupied urban planners and decisionmakers. Drawing from its interdisciplinary literature, this paper explores a comprehensive model of reading the city. Using a qualitative approach from both the archival and visual data sources, this study provides a better understanding of complex layers of urbanism that guide urban planners, policy makers and decisionmakers in developing more convenient solutions to urban problems. With multiple layers of its urbanism, Istanbul makes a suitable case study for this purpose. Identifying three types of developments (controlled or top-down, partially controlled and outlawed, bottom-up), different interactive networks provide sufficient grounds for reading Istanbul. Reading these intricate layers of Istanbul's 'closed' and 'open' city (Sennett, 2017) in close proximity to a main transportation artery (D 100 highway) against the broader backdrop of its long history intertwined with geographic and socioeconomic push and pull forces provides a comprehensive tool for adopting similar methods for reading other cities.
