| Abstract | Today, the uncontrolled urban growth in Istanbul has been far from addressing the issues of equity, social justice, employment, poverty and healthy urban environment. As acknowledged by an emerging body of literature, coping with the problems of unplanned and unsustainable urbanisation requires a thorough change in the way decision-making of central and local governments. Nevertheless, the new urban projects of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality to turn Istanbul into a ‘global city’ do not seem that they are likely to cope with the unsustainable urbanization. This study intends to investigate the socio-economic and environmental impacts of the urban transformation projects for Istanbul and seeks for the practical solutions for preventing the problems associated with the implementation of them. For this purpose, the study focuses on the implementation of one of these urban transformation projects, Basibuyuk Project. The lack of public involvement and environmental considerations are addressed as the main sources of problems. Within this respect, the study suggests the use of instruments for sustainable plan-making which promote a more transparent and accountable decision-making by the involvement of local community in Basibuyuk and preservation of biophysical attributes in the project?s area. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources.
