''Green Istanbul''

The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Department of Parks, Gardens, and Green Spaces continues to transform Istanbul's landscape. It transforms permanent and active urban green spaces into effective public spaces, aiming to increase green space per capita.

Game Master Plan

"Different Colors Park," part of the Istanbul Play Master Plan, opened in Bağcılar on June 22, 2022. A holistic and participatory approach was adopted at the park, designed for individuals with special needs. Due to the high number of adults with autism, the park was planned for Bağcılar. Wooden materials were selected to enhance tactile sensations in the park, which aims to develop motor skills in an open area.

Pedestrian Stop Project

The "Pedestrian Parklet" project was developed in collaboration with the World Resources Institute (WRI) Turkey and with support from Bloomberg Philanthropies. The parklet, first implemented on Halasgarzi Street in Şişli, was designed to ensure road safety within the city and encourage cycling and walking.

Project Exhibition

The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) Department of Parks, Gardens, and Green Areas announced the "Istanbul is Yours, Green Area Artwork Design Competition" on April 8, 2022, to bring seven sculptures to Istanbul. The projects participating in the competition, which concluded on June 25 and featured an awards ceremony on July 2, are currently on display. The exhibition, open from July 18-24 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, awaits visitors at the Istanbul Planning Agency (IPA) Campus Hangar Building.

Silivri Boğluca Life Valley

The first phase of the Silivri Boğluca Life Valley was completed in 2021. Work is currently underway on the second phase of the project, which aims to make Silivri greener.

Zeytinburnu Kennedy Beach Park

Green areas, children's playgrounds, walking and cycling paths, resting and viewing areas, and sports areas will be available to Istanbulites within the scope of the coastal park, where work continues on Zeytinburnu Kennedy Street.

Ayamama Valley of Life

Rehabilitation work continues on the Ayamama Stream, which flows through the districts of Bakırköy, Küçükçekmece, and Bahçelievler. Following the rehabilitation, the Ayamama Stream Life Valley will be established, bringing 1.2 million square meters of green space to Istanbul. The project, which will be completed in three phases, will include a skateboard track, children's playgrounds, sports fields, a pond, an adventure track, tennis courts, and activity areas.

Çekmeköy Rahmi Demir City Forest

Çekmeköy Rahmi Demir Urban Forest, the first urban forest on Istanbul's Anatolian side, has been brought back from its idle state. As part of the urban forest plan, Çekmeköy Viewing Hill will offer residents the pleasure of a 360-degree panoramic view.
