SEAWARDS A MULTI-LAYERED TOWN
The project land currently occupied by industrial facilities and scattered housing units, carries the risk of transforming into a derelict region, unless an urgent urban planning is presented. On the other hand, the land has many advantages; neighboring Kartal, the alternative CBD of İstanbul; being by the sea and surrounded by greenery; and next to well-developed network of highways, railways and the secondary Airport of the city. The project offers self-sufficient urban units of a mixed use approach as in the old Turkish towns, providing different urban and socio-economical probabilities and possibilities in a sustainable environment.
