Across Europe there is an inspiring array of experimentation with local governance arrangements for just and sustainable cities.  
She is a peace worker from Ankara, Turkey. She began her career in journalism and in 2013 she covered the Gezi Park Movement as a freelance journalist in alternative media and international press. She was a graduate degree student in Peace and Conflict Studies Hacettepe University’s Istanbul branch from 2014 to 2017, where she was taught, among others, by Johan Galtung, Jorgen Johansen, Stellan Vinthagen, Oliver Richmond, Norman Finkelstein, Joshua Weiss, Wolfgang Dietrich, Gal Harmat, Kai Frithjof Brand-Jacobsen, Zeki Ergaş, Tatsushi Arai and Amr Khairy Abdalla. Hacettepe University shut down the department in 2015 but she obtained a graduate degree with the thesis subject being ‘Identity-based Conflicts in between Resistance Groups during the Gezi Movement’. Since graduating from Hacettepe University in 2017, she was able to gain experience, inspire transformers and realise projects. As a trained peace-worker, she has been invited to present new ideas at international conferences and has intervened in interpersonal or intergroup conflicts as well as at the established organizational level. In her academic and practical approaches, she works for the creation of new social structures and implementation of state-of-the-art scientific solutions. In Wuppertal she founded the concept of nature-based micro-level peacebuilding methods that can be integrated into the real world. She cares deeply about a shared understanding of mutual respect. Above all, it is also important to her to take responsibility for future generations.  


What is '''governance'''? It can be broadly understood as all formal and informal political processes (involving state and non-state actors) that lead to collective action.  
Burcu’s “Urban Gardening Peace Project” won second place in the Audience Award at Go Volunteer Awards 2021, and third place at “Social Innovation” category.

'''Example of a partially successful governance intervention'''
 
In addition to our 10 fruitful governance interventions for sustainability and justice in cities (see above), we  developed a [[Public-private partnerships for sustainability infrastructure in Athens| rich description]] and a [[ Bringing sustainable infrastructure - carefully engaging in public-private partnerships|scenario]] of a governance intervention that demonstrates possible pitfalls when developing sustainable infrastructure in a public-private partnership. This intervention extracted from a south-eastern European setting outlines the partial success of governance interventions and encourages caution about the externalities of public-private partnerships, especially in the context of austerity that may increase in the post-COVID era.

She is a peace worker from Ankara, Turkey. She began her career in journalism and in 2013 she covered the Gezi Park Movement as a freelance journalist in alternative media and international press. She was a graduate degree student in Peace and Conflict Studies Hacettepe University’s Istanbul branch from 2014 to 2017, where she was taught, among others, by Johan Galtung, Jorgen Johansen, Stellan Vinthagen, Oliver Richmond, Norman Finkelstein, Joshua Weiss, Wolfgang Dietrich, Gal Harmat, Kai Frithjof Brand-Jacobsen, Zeki Ergaş, Tatsushi Arai and Amr Khairy Abdalla. Hacettepe University shut down the department in 2015 but she obtained a graduate degree with the thesis subject being ‘Identity-based Conflicts in between Resistance Groups during the Gezi Movement’. Since graduating from Hacettepe University in 2017, she was able to gain experience, inspire transformers and realise projects. As a trained peace-worker, she has been invited to present new ideas at international conferences and has intervened in interpersonal or intergroup conflicts as well as at the established organizational level. In her academic and practical approaches, she works for the creation of new social structures and implementation of state-of-the-art scientific solutions. In Wuppertal she founded the concept of nature-based micro-level peacebuilding methods that can be integrated into the real world. She cares deeply about a shared understanding of mutual respect. Above all, it is also important to her to take responsibility for future generations.
