    Urban Politics and the Work and Labour Processes of Architecture: Survey Research With Young Architect-Workers in Turkey
    (Middle East Technical University, 2021) Sert, Esra; Aykaç, Gülşah; Zırh, Besim Can
    There is a general tendency in architecture to insistently see the work andlabour conditions of architects independently from “the production of nature as urban space” (Sert, 2020) embedded in the neoliberal capitalist economic order. However, considering the socio-ecologically crisisprone environments in which we live, understanding the complicated relationship among nature, the urban, and society becomes more crucial than ever before (Heynen, et al., 2006; Harvey, 1996; Smith, 2008). This article aims to question the common trend that treats the production process of urban space as if it were independent of the working conditions of architects. Current architectural theory struggles to find concepts for guiding the complicated relationship of architectural process particularly working conditions of architects with urbanization of nature in the 21st century. Accordingly, as specialized citizens, architects try to rethink ecological and civic imaginaries (Karvonen, 2011) for understanding human embeddedness in space, time, nature, and place (Harvey, 1996;Gandy, 2006). © 2021,Metu Journal of the Faculty of Architecture.

    Modern Kıyının İnşası: 19. Yüzyıldan 21. Yüzyıla İstanbul’da Dört Kıyı Dolgu Projesi Üzerinden Toprağın ve Kentsel Dönüşüm Atığının Metabolik Akışı
    (2022) Sert, Esra
    Metabolize olmuş sosyo-doğalar olarak kentlerin ve ekonomilerin inşasının önemli bir unsuru olarak kıyı şehirleri, kapitalizmin tarihi boyunca kırılgan ekolojik nişler olarak işlev gördüler. Su ile karanın buluştuğu bu şehirlerden biri olan İstanbul, günümüzün kapitalist koşullarında sosyo-ekolojik açıdan baskı altında. Bu baskının kentteki mekânsal karşılıklarından biri olan kıyı dolgu alanlarının İstanbul’daki yüzey toplamı, 2000’li yıllarda yeni bir ilçe oluşturabilecek boyuta ulaştı. Dünyanın pek çok yerinde mülk sahipliğine konu olan ve yeryüzündeki dramatik coğrafi müdahalelere yol açan kıyı dolgu projeleri; toprak erozyonu, sediment oluşumu, bozulan hidroloji ve arazi çökmesi gibi tehlikeli sonuçlara yol açmaya devam ediyor. Bu çalışma, dört kıyı dolgu projesi aracılığıyla İstanbul'un modern kıyılarını anlamak için kentsel toprağın ve kentsel dönüşüm atığının metabolik yolculuğunun tarihsel olarak bir süreliğine kıyı dolgu alanları formunda nasıl mekânsallaştığını araştırıyor. İncelenen kentsel kıyı dolgu projelerinin ilk ikisi 19. yüzyılda karşımıza çıkan Yenikapı dolgu alanı ve bağlantılı liman alanı önerisi ile İstanbul Limanı projesi iken; diğer ikisi de 21. yüzyılda Maltepe ve Yenikapı’da gerçekleştirilen kıyı dolgu projeleridir. Makalede; doğanın çeşitli dolaşımlarla nasıl mekânsallaştığının öyküsü araştırılıyor. Kentsel projelerin, İstanbul’un derinleşen eşitsiz coğrafyasında sosyoekolojik ilişkileri kırılganlaştırarak dönüştüren kapitalizmin enstrümanlarına bağlı olduğu kadar, mimarlığı ve hepimizi son derece yakından ilgilendiren kentsel gündemlere ve tahayyüllere de bağlı olduğu iddia ediliyor. Bunu yaparken, kentsel metabolizma perspektifinden kentsel toprağın ve kentsel dönüşüm atığının metabolik yolculuğunu inceleyerek kıyının üretiminde etkili olan mevcut çevresel ve yönetsel müdahaleler kadar olası gelecek tahayyüllerinin ve projeksiyonlarının da yeniden gözden geçirilmesine katkıda bulunmayı umut ediyor.

    Metabolic Flows of Water in İstanbul in the Nineteenth Century: Tap Water, Waste, and Sanitation
    (SAGE Publications Inc., 2022) Sert, Esra
    Considering the age of socio-ecological crises in which we live, the urgency of understanding the complicated relationship between society and nature is apparent. To achieve this, unfolding the urban metabolism of cities through metabolic flows from the perspective of urban political ecology will grow increasingly essential in the future. This paper aims to explore the concept of urban political ecology as a perspective for understanding emergence of a new urban metabolism in İstanbul in the nineteenth century through metabolic flows of water. The context of “metabolic” emphasizes labor as an agent for the very production of nature as urbanized nature through tap water, waste, and sanitation. It shows the transition and the conflict between the labor-intensive urban metabolism and capital-intensive urban metabolism of İstanbul, which started in the nineteenth century. The metabolic flows of water in terms of infrastructure were affected by the first impacts of foreign capital investments and capitalist relations.

    Urban Green Spaces of İstanbul: From 'beautifying Efforts To 'mega-projects
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Sert, Esra
    This study discusses the transformation of urban green spaces in & Idot;stanbul, focusing specifically on gardens, groves, parks, and the Northern Forests. Recent research has underscored a significant loss of green space during the 2000s, posing a threat to biodiversity and essential ecosystem services. Despite maintaining a socio-natural continuum, it is evident that the twenty-first century represents a significant departure from the past. This study identifies two pivotal periods: the 'beautification' efforts undertaken the young republican period and the 'mega-projects' of the 2000s. These periods exhibit both similarities and substantial differences in politics and spatial organization concerning the urbanization of nature. The concept of urban political ecology is incorporated here, which advocates for equal socio-natural solutions and highlights the interconnectedness between urban areas and nature. The study concludes by emphasizing the need to continue examining the winners and losers in transformation of urban green spaces and move beyond project-driven development. It contributes modestly to the growing literature by shedding light on how historically and spatially organized ecologies of urban green spaces in the context of & Idot;stanbul can help us understand the socio-spatial changes we are witnessing today, characterized by the extended urbanization of nature worldwide.
