With the successful management and implementation of these project processes, the sustainability of cultural and social heritage can be ensured, and qualified living environments can be designed in accordance with urban identities. The main aim of urban transformation is to create human-oriented cities with livable standards. In line with this main aim, urban transformation projects to be implemented should create more livable areas by taking into account the cultural and physical characteristics of the city within the scope of the objectives.
