  Innovative urbanism practices transform public spaces in Izmir | United Nations Development Programm

Photo: Karşıyaka Municipality UNDP Türkiye and Karşıyaka Municipality joined forces and revitalized two public spaces in the Tersane district as part of the efforts to create inclusive, resilient and sustainable cities Ankara, 18 August 2022 – United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) realized an initiative in two areas in Izmir within the framework of sustainable urban development with 'tactical urbanism' practices, which means making spatial improvements in public spaces with rapid, low-cost, and effective interventions. Two separate opening ceremonies of the spaces will take place in the Tersane district on 22 August 2022 Monday at 18.00. (...) Making cities, which are the centers of life, more inclusive, safe, durable and sustainable will be possible with the participation of local governments, all public institutions, non-governmental organizations and citizens. “The rapid urbanization which started with migration from east to west in the 1980s led to the formation of an unplanned and dense urban fabric in Izmir.” said Özlem Şenyol Kocaer, Urban Design Manager at Karşıyaka Municipality. (...) We aim to reproduce this initiative, which we have implemented in rapid and effective cooperation with UNDP Türkiye, as an exemplary transformation model in other neighborhoods of the district that lack infrastructure.”
