DON'T FORGET TO ACTIVATE SUBTITLES!

With a staggering population of 16 million, the challenges of creating a seamless integration between vehicles, pedestrians, and public transportation in Istanbul have never been more significant. In this new UMX video, let's travel to Istanbul (Türkiye) to discover how one of the world's largest metropolises is undergoing a groundbreaking shift in its transportation and urban planning policies. Let's delve into the fascinating journey of pedestrianisation and sustainable urban development in Istanbul's iconic districts, Mecidiyeköy and Maltepe. These ambitious projects aim to redefine the cityscape, turning bustling intersections into vibrant public squares and providing safer, more accessible spaces for everyone.

This video was shot in Autumn 2022. Many thanks to Merve Akı Yaman (Senior Urban Mobility Manager at WRI Türkiye), Arif Alpay (Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Deputy Secretary General), Buğra Gökce (Istanbul Metropolitan Deputy Secretary General) and Yusuf Karademir (Local Shop Owner) for kindly participating in this video.
