| Abstract |
| The paper aims to assess the working of urban conservation policies in Turkey in order to facilitate the sustainability of historic environment within the context of neoliberal urbanism. The experiences of two medium-sized towns, Safranbolu and Beypazari, are highlighted as empirical evidence. The assessment methodology follows a holistic multi-criteria approach integrating spatial, social, economic and structural sub-systems of historic environment. Bearing in mind the fundamental research results, the paper concludes with key precautions in enabling sustainability of historic environment in the neoliberal age. |
