The primary reason for scrutinising socio-spatial inequalities through comparative urban policy analysis in my research is to understand whether the current housing inequality patterns in London and Berlin have a path dependency regarding the policymaker’s approach. I conduct the research in line with a mixed-method approach while substantiating the argument that has been made. While conducting the multi-scalar research from the actors’ perspective, I sort the research stages out of three layers. First, examining of the effects of rolled-out economic and social policies on driving housing inequalities. Second, defining the evolution of the housing inequality spectrum in London and Berlin. Finally, analysing the reflections of the urban policies in the daily life of vulnerable communities. The prospective findings of my study shed light on the housing inequalities in advanced economies.

Thesis title: Redefining Socio-Spatial Inequalities through Comparative Urban Policy Analysis in London and Berlin

Supervisors: Stephen Hincks and John Flint

Education:

In September 2023, I started my PhD at the University of 91Ö±²¥. My current focus is examining socio-spatial inequalities through a comparative urban policy analysis in London and Berlin. I started working as a research assistant at Yildiz Technical University in 2020. In this role, I actively contributed to various courses and participated in projects related to migration, tourism, and post-disaster scenarios. I completed my master's thesis on neoliberal urban policies and urban social movements at Yıldız Technical University's Urban Regeneration and Planning Program. This entire academic journey started with my undergraduate education in Urban and Regional Planning at the same institution, which I completed in 2019.
