It means altogether whatever is necessary for living, for being happy and for human existence. It means agriculture, it means commerce, it means labour, it means everything.” Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, Opening Speech of Turkey Economy Congress, İzmir, 17th of February 1923 7 Introduction When we reach year 2023, with a population nearing 4.5 million, İzmir has to keep track of the change within global interaction For the İzmir that we imagine for the year 2023… and lead the change in Turkey in order to have economic, environmental and social prosperity. 2014-2023 İzmir Regional Plan (İzmir Bölge Planı - İZBP) was prepared within the framework of sustainable development principles and in line with the responsibility of utilisation of existing resources of İzmir along with increasing the awareness, responsibility and efficiency for resource utilisation and thus looking out for the life quality standards of future generations. It focused on “sustainability” as one of the main themes of Turkey and World agenda for the next ten-year plan period within which it is expected that after effects of the year 2008 financial crisis will continue, and the new global division of labour throughout the world, climate change, energy problem and innovation economies will become more and more prominent. Within İZBP preparation process, participative planning techniques were implemented with precision. It was aimed to form a new development model specific to Turkey and İzmir in line with the subsidiarity and bottom-up planning principles by activating the local dynamics. The aspect that renders regional planning process significant is that it is the product of the consensus of the people of İzmir, public organisations and institutions, private sector, non-governmental organizations and universities; in short, all stakeholders who have a say in the process of development and that it develops the collaborative work culture during the preparation process. İZBP will serve to increase the communication, coordination, cooperation and collaborative work culture between public sector, private sector and civil society, activate the local potential, and provide a general viewpoint and unity of objectives created with the shared mind of all relevant segments. Realisation of these objectives and priorities through a shared mind shall thus increase the contribution of İzmir to national economy and national competitiveness. During the implementation period of the plan, it is of significance that actions are determined within the framework of strategic priorities and objectives defined under thematic and sectoral development axes along with operational programmes, and that division of labour and distribution of financial resources among institutions and organisations is realised. The fundamental success achieved during the planning period is having more people and institutions included in the decision making processes suitable to the region's needs and priorities and in line with the subsidiarity and locality principles, and having activated the mechanisms aimed at providing participation. Participants, while determining the potentials and opportunities related to their region during these workshops, actually see that they may achieve these objectives with their own means and potentials. New cooperation possibilities and new partnership projects emerge, developing the collaborative work culture. Dependency (old age dependency) rate in developed countries will rise in the upcoming period but it will continue to drop in Turkey. This fact brings along an important demographic opportunity. İzmir and Turkey to be able to utilise this opportunity depends on all individuals, men and women, to have the skills required by the 21st century. Therefore, education is our field of priority as the foundation of development. Universalising the access to high-quality education, modernisation of education system, development of education's quality and realising gender equality are prerequisites for us to be able to utilise this demographic opportunity. 2014-2023 İzmir Regional Plan is a fundamental policy document from which all stakeholders are responsible of, who will benefit and get affected from its results in some way. Realisation of the objectives determined through shared mind will be possible only through increasing the national and regional acts and labour and capital efficiency, directing resources in a planned manner to productive fields, utilisation of natural resources in line with our responsibilities towards future generations and gaining the fundamental skills necessitated by the 21st century. We hope that 2014-2023 İzmir Regional Plan will be beneficial as a reference document for the public sector, private sector and civil society segments in regards to their own work programmes, strategic plans and investment programmes, extend our gratitude to all actors that provided contribution to the planning process for their interest, efforts and sharing our excitement, and we wish them the best of success regarding their responsibilities in the plan's implementation and monitoring processes.
