WOOOOW!

:runaway:

looks fantastic!!! :uh:

Looks great!

it will be wonderful

hoooo woow ! hehe the futur of Istanbul is great :)

this is just one of the urban projects. There is south side of the lake project also

Sercan Is it under construction or a proposal ?

i think a proposal
but this area is booming + metro will arrive here in some years

IMO it will be built
maybe separated in 2-3 phases

In Istanbul, at 25 kilometers in the west of Bosphorus Strait, near to the archaeological site of the Yarimburgaz cave in the north of the Kucukcekmece lake and in the south from the Sazlidere water field widening on 5 milions of sqm, will born a new, real city: New Istanbul. Paghera’s group, up to the order of the Turkish New Istanbul real Estate Development Company ,will sign the green area and the entire urbanization of one of the quarters. The head of the project will be Architect Michele Paghera, Vice president and foreigner responsible of the group. The property and the project development is of Mr. Korkmaz Yigit, the owner of the New Istanbul real Estate Development Company. The whole design of this colossal post-modern urbanization work is signed by the study of the famous, missing, Architect Philip Johnson, now headed by Mr.Alan Ritchie, his collaborator for more than 25 years. New Istanbul is the answer to the serious lodgings crisis determined by the suburbs blasting growth recordered in the last fifty years in the Istanbul. A phenomenon that conferring an irregular trend to the growth of the city, compromising the ancient rational urbanization. This has strongly jeopardized the Kucukcekmece area, transforming it in a badly built and overcrowded quarter where nobody wants to live and work. New Istanbul- which is part of the development plan and recovery of the urban areas of Istanbul launched in the 1990- will radically change the face of this suburb, determining a strong jump of quality for the 270.000 people who lives and works in this area. Farther on the residential area with buildings which vary from skyscrapers of 200 meters height to houses, the project foresee the realization of schools,7 hospitals,6 religion places ,an Olympic Stadium, an exhibition area and congressional, a commercial area, a recreative centre, a resort on the coast, a railway line on monorail and a bus station for the public transport network. The new city is rich of green areas and is harmonic insert in a rural environment. It answer to both structurals and infrastructurals demands and to those socials and culturals with wide common and entertainment areas :these areas will consent residents to cultivate community ties. The project combines classical towns plannings solutions with contemporary method which establish a tight relationship between residentials and commercials areas through an integrate road system with pedestrian paths and publics transports. Innovative, beneath a towns plannings and socials profile, New Istanbul propose a new method for the urban growth management of the big city and it is destined to become an international example for the manufacture of new settlements.

Very ambitious and very gorgeous!! I hope it gets built. I like the oriental element in some of the buildings. very smart.

Very interesting. Good mixture of local and international style. Looks like it's gonna be a real multi functional urban district. There is a similar project in Warsaw called Miasteczko Wilanów (definitely on a smaller scale) but we have a dispute on domination of the residential function.

project is still proposed
looks the the cooperatives looking for money :D
actually this project is called Silk Hills (270.000 person)


there is another one for 200.000 (New Istanbul)
it will have higher towers :D

What a superb master plan. No wonder it still needs more money.

:D
i think cost are planned to be around 6-7 bil $-US

It would be a masterpiece of urban planning if built. It is not congested in terms of structure separation and seems very habitable

Looks like it has much potential. Looking forward to it. :cheers:
