Coastal community, civic pride, and cultural memory converge in Karşıyaka.
This booklet captures the spirit of participation in one of Izmir’s most vibrant districts. Here, co-mapping became a catalyst for dialogue among residents, planners, and cultural actors—revealing both the threats posed by urbanisation and climate shifts, and the assets rooted in shared identity, local creativity, and civic space. Karşıyaka’s experience is a beacon for cities balancing tradition and modernity.
