Mayor of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Tunç Soyer, said that they are absolutely against a plan change that will open the Buca Prison land to housing construction. Making a call from his social media account, Soyer said, “I am calling out to the authorities for the Buca Prison land, which has started to be demolished. This unique land should not be sacrificed to concrete. Buca needs green space, not more concrete. Whatever the name; recreation area, park, National Garden… We are ready to support it.”
Mayor of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Tunç SoyerHe said that after the Buca Prison was demolished, the land should be brought back to the city as a green area. Explaining that most of the park areas in the current plan have been converted into residential areas with the plan change prepared by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, Mayor Soyer stated that the planned change will increase the density in the region with the construction and such an arrangement would be against the legislation. Minister Tunç Soyer“We have serious reservations about the 1/5000 scale Master Zoning Plan and 1/1000 scale Implementation Zoning Plan Amendment proposal for the parcels covering the prison land submitted by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization in order to get the opinion of our institution as per the legislation. We see that the amount of green space in the existing plans is reduced and an attempt is made to allocate space for housing. This is not an acceptable situation,” he said.
We support it to be a park or a public garden
