This study examines the critical role of planning culture in shaping the built environment through spatial interventions influenced by political culture and planning history. It introduces a contextual framework, integrating the Culturized Planning Model (CPM) and path-dependency analysis, to explore the intersections within planning practices. By emphasizing historical trajectories and accumulative practices, the study seeks to understand planning culture and its underlying forces. Focusing on Turkish planning culture from the neoliberal shifts of the 1980s to contemporary practices, it analyses political decisions, legislative changes, and the roles of planning actors. The research incorporates in-depth interviews with planning professionals, reviews of planning documents, and assessments of regulatory frameworks. This approach uncovers how planning culture evolves through tangible and intangible elements shaped by historical and contextual experiences. The proposed framework serves both as an analytical tool and a foundation for further research, inviting comparative studies to explore the variations and dynamics of planning cultures across diverse contexts. By delving into these intricacies, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of how historical experiences and cultural influences shape planning practices globally
