Summary:The article explores the potential of urban living labs (ULLs) to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 16 (SDG16) in the context of Istanbul, Turkiye. Focusing on the need for new approaches to addressing global challenges and local issues within a smart city approach, the research emphasizes the importance of ULLs. The findings reveal that the weakness of the local government and the unjust landscape pattern distribution in urbanization underlined the need for a new form of governance. However, ULLs have the potential to foster a culture of innovation and sustainability in urban governance. The ULL mindset can permeate the broader urban governance ecosystem, leading to the adoption of innovative policies and practices that drive sustainable urban development. However, defining the landscape pattern via planning and management system is crucial to understanding Turkiye's complicated governance. The findings contribute to the discourse on urban planning, offering a pathway for cities, including Istanbul, to navigate complex urban issues.
