Synopsis "Memory and Topography: Orhan Pamuk and the Urban Space"

Memory and Topography: Orhan Pamuk and the Urban Space is a critical nonfiction that examines how cities are shaped by both memory and architecture. Grounded in Orhan Pamuk's Istanbul: Memories and the city, the book explores how personal recollection quietly redraws urban maps in tension with state-sanctioned planning and homogenizing spatial agendas. Istanbul emerges as a palimpsest of layered histories, emotions, and overlooked lives that resist erasure, revealing the city not as a static monument but as a living text rewritten by longing, nostalgia, and everyday experience. Extending beyond literary analysis into urban practice, the study positions memory as an ethical guide to planning and design. Although rooted in Istanbul, the book extends to case studies from Mumbai, Jodhpur, Seoul, Bhubaneswar (Odisha) and many others from a global context, showing how memory-led renewal reconciles heritage with contemporary urban needs. These projects model continuity rather than rupture, framing preservation as an expression of spatial justice rather than nostalgia. Advancing the framework of memory-sensitive urbanism, the book advocates planning as an act of remembrance rather than erasure. Ultimately, it envisions the city as a living archive in which memory and modernity dynamically coexist to shape urban life.
