Abstract

Contemporary cities face multidimensional global challenges such as migration, rapid urbanization, climate change, overconsumption of natural resources, and sustainability. The smart city approach aims to address these challenges by integrating information and communication technologies (IoT, big data, AI, etc.) with urban infrastructure. Türkiye established its first national framework through the National Smart Cities Strategy and Action Plan 2020–2023 and further advanced it with the National Smart Cities Strategy and Action Plan 2030, which strengthens human-centeredness, digital twins, and participatory governance. This study adopts a conceptual and comparative evaluation approach to examine Türkiye’s National Smart Cities Strategy 2030 within its historical development and global context. The analysis reviews national smart city strategies based on their chronological evolution, scope levels (national or local), and main focus areas, positioning Türkiye’s strategy alongside examples from the European Union, China, Singapore, South Korea, and other countries. The findings indicate that Türkiye’s vision extends beyond technological transformation to embrace sustainability, governance, environment, and quality of life as integral dimensions. Furthermore, the study highlights how the 2030 strategy articulates a future-oriented vision, integrating human-centered, data-driven, and sustainable urban development within a long-term governance framework.

Özet

Günümüz şehirleri; göç, hızlı kentleşme, iklim değişikliği, doğal kaynakların aşırı tüketimi ve sürdürülebilirlik gibi küresel ölçekte çok boyutlu zorluklarla karşı karşıyadır. Akıllı şehir yaklaşımı, bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerini (IoT, büyük veri, yapay zekâ vb.) kentsel altyapıyla bütünleştirerek bu zorluklara çözüm üretmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Türkiye, 2020–2023 Ulusal Akıllı Şehirler Stratejisi ve Eylem Planı ile ilk ulusal çerçevesini oluşturmuş; bu birikim üzerine inşa ettiği 2025–2030 dönemini kapsayan 2030 Ulusal Akıllı Şehirler Stratejisi ve Eylem Planı ile insan odaklılık, dijital ikiz teknolojileri ve katılımcı yönetişim unsurlarını güçlendirmiştir. Bu çalışma, Türkiye’nin 2030 Ulusal Akıllı Şehirler Stratejisi’ni tarihsel gelişimi ve küresel bağlamı içinde ele alan kavramsal ve karşılaştırmalı bir değerlendirme yaklaşımı benimsemektedir. Çalışmada, ülkelerin akıllı şehir stratejileri kronolojik gelişimleri, kapsam düzeyleri (ulusal veya yerel) ve ana odak alanları üzerinden incelenmiş; Avrupa Birliği, Çin, Singapur, Güney Kore ve diğer ülkelerin örnekleriyle Türkiye’nin stratejik konumu değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular, Türkiye’nin vizyonunun yalnızca teknolojik dönüşümle sınırlı kalmadığını; sürdürülebilirlik, yönetişim, çevre ve yaşam kalitesini bütüncül biçimde kapsadığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca çalışma, 2030 stratejisinin Türkiye’ye özgü bir gelecek vizyonu geliştirdiğini; insan merkezli, veri temelli ve sürdürülebilir bir şehircilik anlayışını uzun vadeli yönetişim çerçevesiyle bütünleştirdiğini ortaya koymaktadır.
