The peripheries of the post-metropolitan city are becoming a collage of normalized exceptions where different power mechanisms encounter each other, where hybrid uses and informality abound, where power and legality are blurred. 

Rather than reading this heterogeneous, legal but informal urbanization and the "gaps" created by this process with the codes of the traditional city center and defining it as an anomaly, it should be examined with local actors, the power dynamics and forms of conflict between them, and observed within the reality of the periphery itself.

The aim of this research is to examine the form, process, mechanics and potentials of the spatial projection of the struggle in the "neutral spaces" of the periphery and to try to define the possible form of the new partnership of the periphery. 

For this study, Başakşehir was chosen as the study area due to the diversity of different actors coming together and the space created by ownership and legal ambiguity in the areas between these settlements.
