Expressing that the most successful urban transformation application in Turkey is carried out by the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality, Mayor Soyer said, “We are implementing a transformation in place with one hundred percent consensus, without leaving anyone out of the neighborhood where they live. The practices we have implemented in Uzundere and Ornekkoy so far have made our citizens trust us. Our compatriots know that their cooperation with the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality will not make them suffer. Now we have started the transformation in Ege Mahallesi. We aim to reach all the problematic residential areas of the city with a healthy urban infrastructure and safe housing by going public.
Thanks to the Metropolitan

İzmir Metropolitan Municipality stepped in and started an urban transformation study in the region. In this way, we are moving to a new earthquake resistant building. We are very satisfied. We thank the Metropolitan Municipality very much ”.
Saying that their house is not lacking at all and that they like it very much, Münire Tunçel said, “We are very happy to receive our house. We had three apartments here. We gave the other two apartments to our two daughters. Thank you very much ”.
Repairs can be made without digging asphalt with the gallery system
With the infrastructure gallery system under construction in Uzundere Urban Transformation and Development Area, wastewater, drinking water, rain water, electricity and data lines will be collected in the underground gallery. Thus, in case of any malfunction, all the problems can be repaired by entering the gallery, without digging the asphalt and without deteriorating the pavements. With the infrastructure tunnel system, all necessary interventions will be made within the system, and the environment will not be disturbed and the traffic will not be disrupted. This model will be integrated into other urban transformation areas.
