Urban climate adaptation through nature-based solutions (NBS) requires collective action that incorporates spatial justice considerations. Collective actions reveal new ways of thinking about urban green commons and by reframing conventional understandings NBS, space, adaptation. Three examined in Istanbul demonstrate how the grassroots-supported NBS must navigate complex land ownership arrangements, justice, opposing development priorities socio-spatial reconfigurations spurred local national political elites. Using qualitative data collected from fieldwork carried out 2019, we find critical relationships between activists, academics, professional organizations, residents collectively acting to promote commons. do not rely on dominant techno-political processes generate primarily infrastructure-based Istanbul.

In the realm of urban regeneration, this paper analyses key role institutionalized self-organization within entrepreneurial governance frameworks, arguing how organized community groups can influence policy through engagement in networks. Focusing on transformation initiative Istanbul's Derbent informal neighbourhood (gecekondu), where community-driven innovation emerged face state-led development, research elucidates ways local collectives navigate and transform structures. The study presents three main lessons with broader implications for understanding dynamics globally: (1) capacity self-organized entities to re-politicize networks impact governance, even authoritarian contexts; (2) transformative power these initiatives facilitating a transition from strategies responsive tactics, adapting needs inputs stakeholders; (3) enrolment networks, highlighting importance collective platforms that bridge gap between citizens policymakers. This investigation into self-governance demonstrates tangible localized efforts catalysing change spatial challenging traditional models. While rooted unique socio-political landscape, findings transcend specific context Derbent, encouraging further similar worldwide. calls re-evaluation models better accommodate leverage grassroots participation invites comparative applicability insights beyond studied context.

ABSTRACT Cities striving to adapt the impacts of climate change must recognize significant variability in flood vulnerability across different communities. By examining interplay between physical and socio‐demographic factors, this paper provides a comprehensive overview multidimensional aspects exposure Istanbul's Pendik District. The District, situated within Istanbul Metropolitan Area, was chosen for study as it regularly faces floods exacerbated by change. Utilizing mixed‐methodology approach, ranging from analytic hierarchy process (AHP) surveys census data, we find that areas classified flood‐prone have residential units with lower land market values. Additionally, these high district tend be populated elderly individuals, refugees, citizens low education levels. In sum, reveals there is sharp correlation socio‐economically disadvantaged communities their urban flooding As long current design building stock fail address level among most communities, critical need inclusive planning disaster management strategies.

Although climate policy diffusion is widely studied, we know comparatively little about how these global policies and the norms that surround them are used by various political actors seeking to advance their own agendas. In this article, focus on diffused differently at national local scales repoliticize or depoliticize change.

The article employs a novel methodological approach, using topic modeling network analyses range change–related documents, interviews with high-level officers, conducted three jurisdictional levels Turkey. findings reveal although both governments, it different ways levels. government uses change creating ad hoc coalitions limiting actions external climate-related funds.

Responsive land-use policy amid climate change in urban settings includes infrastructure transformation and necessitates recognizing community- individual-level vulnerabilities as well climate-driven injustices, which are isolated the existing literature. This paper highlights how policies set nine cities of Turkey identify vulnerable groups individuals, develop to address identified justice concerns. Employing content analysis expert interviews, we find critical relationships between groups, responsive policy, justice. While social-aid municipalism-related dominate districts' policies, nature-based solutions (NBS), especially green agriculture, emerge dominant adaptation solutions. The way prioritized sustainability plans put less emphasis on intersectionality infrastructure-related vulnerabilities. With tokenism taking place documents, do not incorporate communities planning. Ultimately, complexity for must cultivate a greater awareness support practically.
