dc.description.abstract There is a worldwide growing attention on user participation in shaping urban environments in recent years. With the involvement of local authorities civil initiatives and neighborhood organizations it is possible to observe a similar attention in the formation of urban spaces in Turkey. Driven from this approach this study examines the bottom-up transformation of a cultural space existing since 1960s in Izmir Guzelyali. To reveal the process of how civic empowerment operated we simulate a remembering process and curate the process in order to make things visible. The process examines an urban installation to reveal narratives behind collective action through reading collective memory. The scope is to re-read the past in the present in order to generate new processes of civic engagement and thus actions in urban spaces. © 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

project.funder.name Memory Box which is given a detailed place in this article is the outcome of a cross-cultural collaboration between Romania’s second big city Cluj and Izmir. The project focuses on revealing the memories related to two cultural places from these cities and their importance for the urban life. Memory Box is the Izmir part of the project that particularly focuses on collecting memories of the inhabitants to reflect the bottom-up cultural transformation process. The project is kindly supported by 2015-2016 Tandem Turkey fund under the name “Connecting Comm(on)unities” and realized by UrbanTank an NGO researching on participatory urban environments in Turkey (www.urban-tank.org). Both authors are in the leading team of this organization.
