The spatial alteration of İstanbul-Çeliktepe district

The role and the situation of urbans have changed in the global macro-form and national-state in the 20th century in which the processes of globalization are felt densely. Instead of urban definitions that exist in a certain national-state and belong to this national state, they now define an urban that competes with the other urbans on the globe and that is in an interaction with this process. The phenomenon is studied in the concept of ?syntactic organization of urban space? and ?urban configuration?. Changes have been observed in the urban space in the changing processes of production-consumption relations.This study was held for the exposal of the interaction between the spatial configurational properties and land use properties of Çeliktepe district in the urban growth and alteration process from 1985 to today. The Space Syntax model was utilized for the morphological structuring analysis of the urban system.
