I am not sure, but I guess that the most religious city in Turkey is Bursa.

Konya is

and the modern???????

in Israel:
modern:80% of Israel(tel aviv really like west cities)
religious-Bnei Brak and Jerusalem

the most modern is Izmir (isn't it?, any doubts?)

I think so :)

The most religious city in Turkey is definitely konya. I think also urfa can be considered religious since its nick name is the city of prophets

and the biggest? :D

...so... the thread is about Taksim, let's talk about night life

yesterday i went to Hayal Kahvesi... and it rocks!!
i also like Old City... and Club Karaborsa is also fine.. (a little "ciks" but fine ;))

what are your favorite pubs? clubs? bars?

I ate there too, and man did my stomach regret it that night. That was one of the only times I've gotten sick in Turkey.

i was never there but in the near future i will visit istanbul!

Did they finish digging for the Metro there? Last year the works were on full speed, I'll be inspecting them in July, get ready for me Topbas :hahaha:

it is not compated yet, but they are building the new stations now, and construction is continuing very fast. I guess it will be ready after the summer...

i really like that last pic.
the marmara'nın üstündeki dev ekran yeni mi? yoksa billboard falan mı o?

There ae new giant screans on the Hotel, it is like this for 2 months...

i think AKM needs giant screans and lite billboards too. this gives Times Square feeling to historical Taksim square

I don't think so, because AKM has its own architecture. Not an ordenery one like the Marmara. Also concept of AKM is a culture and opera house... giant Screans don't be suited to it...

No not on of it, i mean in front of it or it needs different lightning system, its architecture is great but it doesnt look so bright at night proffesionals can make lightning games on it, its art too.

yes you are right about it :okay: we agree...

Stunning photos! I really do miss Istiklal Street.. Nowhere exists on earth like Istiklal Street.. Sigh..

CityZen I agree with you

This shot is amazing

This square looks so chaotic.Something has to be done in the coming years.

still looks nice though :okay:

Additional to above,
It looks incomplete and untidy. Something must be done as soon as possible.

I agree.

burger king e bakin. bence beyoglu gibi tarihi yerlerde bu tur di$ cephelere izin verilmemesi lazim. "tarih ve modern içiçe" olayi (istisnalar hariç) o kadar da guzel olmuyor.
hatta butun $ehirlerde panolara , reklamlara ve bilmemne dershanesi, surucu kursu, bilmemkaçinci noter gibi levhalara kisitlamalar getirilmesi lazim, her $ey ayri telden çaliyo. belediyeler bu tur $eylere el atsalar $ehirlerimiz çok daha duzenli gozukur.

hocam bu regulatin sonrasi durumu, yoksa bu bildigin burger king tabelasi degil sende farkedersinki..

ama bu kurallar yeterlimi? goruyoruzki degil..aslinda adam etmek hicte zor degil ilk once istmek lazim..

^^ Burger King, Mc Donald's gibi franchising alinca, sadece logonun ve yazi karakterlerinin ayni olmasini zorunlu tutuyolar, bildigim kadariyla di$ cepheye kari$ilmiyo...
ben aslinda Burger King yazisindan degil , o gri levhalardan bahsediyorum...her yerde boyle cepheler var ve bence tarihi yerlere hiç yaki$miyo

gri levhalar feci haklisin.

benim bahsettigim jan janli kirmizi burger tabelasi yerine daha minimal daha uyumlu bir tabela kullaniyorlar, istiklaldeki mc donalds da oyle yanlis hatirlamiorsam. Ornegin burdada tonla mc war ama yerine gore tabela siyah..

istiklaldekiler uyumludur...siz gri levha diye dış cepheyi mi kastediyorsunuz? Bu arada CPN'nin tabela konusunda söyledikerlinin altına imza atarım..

^^ senin ne demek istedigini de anladim, bence de cart kirmizidan çok daha iyi duruyo ve metal (yada pirinç ..artik neyse) harfler, klasik beyaz plastikten daha iyi...

konu açilmi$ken, $oyle ilginç bi thread var http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=112844&page=1&pp=20

bu arada dedigin gibi Istiklal de bu konuda bir regulation oldumu ?

ewet ayni seyden bahsedioruz, senin link de cok guzel orneklemis ve bildigim kadariyla bir regulation oldu :)

oldu ama ilk örnekleri çok kötü olmuştu, daha sonra açılan mekanlar daha iyi işler ortaya çıkardılar...
