What is the role of the programme in urban transformation dynamics since 2010? The thesis employs qualitative research methods including semi-structured and structured interviews as well as the participant observation methodology. The findings suggest that the programme has widened the economic and social inequality among the urbanites and created speculative urbanisation dynamics by enabling the vicious cycle of spatial injustice, relocation/dislocation and gentrification.
