New Design Ideas, vol.6, no.3, pp.335-355, 2022 (Scopus)
The design of the urban area can be addressed in many respects. Studies that reshape cities with the design of physics-space are affected by spatial as well as social, administrative, and legal formations. The new metropolitan law, which was put into effect in Turkiye in 2014, readdressed metropolitan administrations and shaped cities in legal and administrative terms. There are still ongoing discussions on the law, which is also considered the "design" of new urban management. This study analyzed the post-law local development dynamics of 14 cities, whose administrative features are regarded as metropolitan within the framework of Law No. 6360, and investigated how the process shaped the cities. In the study, the data for the three years before and after 2014, which is the date of implementation of the law, were discussed using the local economic development indicators for 14 cities. This study aimed to reveal how Law No. 6360 shaped the cities legally and administratively and investigate its effects in the context of local economic development.
