The most important of these changes are represented by urban regeneration projects introduced to mitigate disaster risk and increasing the quality of urban life. Urban regeneration projects in Turkey continue to develop through segmental plan changes that lack scientific justification. This type of approach not only leads to population growth exceeding the figures predicted in the upper scale plan decisions of the city but also reduces the green areas, education and health infrastructure, social facilities, and cultural facilities associated with population growth. This pattern tends to compel people to live in a city where the quality of urban life has declined. Increasing population density through segmental and project-based urban regeneration practices and deteriorating social due to density are the main reasons behind the diminished resilience of urban systems. This paper analyses the relationship between "urban resilience" and "urban regeneration" based on a field study conducted in Kayseri. The study examines the problems of increased urban density and the incompatibility of the social infrastructure (in terms of adequacy and location). To this end, all areas defined as "highly risky" between 2012 and 2020 in Kayseri in accordance with the Law on the Transformation of Areas under Disaster Risk No.6306 were analysed. Within the scope of the study, we examined the construction plan and plan explanation reports and found a "population growth rate" by comparing the population figures before and after the implementation of the transformation plan. Then we assessed how the population density increase reflects on the building density increase based on the "precedent/ building density change". From the plan explanation report, we obtained the change in the overall social infrastructure ratio brought about by population growth and examined this figure on the basis of m 2 per capita. In the examined projects, an average 47% increase was noted in the local population as a result of the plans, with the highest increase being 84%. In addition, an average 2.08 times increase was witnessed in building density, with the highest increase being eight-fold. As for social infrastructure areas, the average decrease in the square meters per capita was 20% in the studied ARTICLE INFO Article history
