LEAVE THE NATURE ALONE
simple as that, they are building the third bridge, along with the highways
outside of city boundaries, and they are destroying forests like they destroyed the beaches. Instead of destroying the nature, demolish buildings and build higher buildings. Instead of building new roads, add new lanes to the existing ones.
City can grow vertically, we can use high story skyscrapers, we can use the underground. In europe they have double story subway lines, in İstanbul we don't have subway access in most districts. Yeah that's changing too but too little, too slow.
Instead of building the third bridge
OUTSIDE İstanbul we could build the second Marmaray. Motor highways are petrol
dependency, air
pollution. Railroads are the future!
They've had elevated metro in New York City for the last 70-100 years. It costs one fifth of an underground subway to build an elevated railway.
Why can't we build one over the minibus avanue ? Minibusses are traffic terrorists.
But WHO am I talking to? A bunch of people who wants to destroy Gezi Park to build a shopping mall.
