KadıköyChildren of Nature, continuing their struggle against the shopping mall and parking lot project in Söğütlüçeşme, one of the last green areas of Turkey, Kadıköy He said that while they wanted the Municipality to be involved in the process, they needed more green areas, earthquake assembly areas and the use of public resources for the public benefit.

Details on the content of the license are not shared with the public.
Beyda Ceyda, who read the press text on behalf of the Children of Nature, said:
Akfen Holding and Fıratcan İnşaat, which are involved in the unlicensed project, stated that they will create food-beverage, culture-art areas under the viaducts. In this area, 118 shops and a parking lot with a capacity of 443 will be built. Thus, an open-space shopping mall will be built in Söğütlüçeşme. Opening a car park while there is already a traffic problem in the region means that many more vehicles head towards this area, increasing the existing traffic and causing noise pollution. The people and creatures living in Söğütlüçeşme will suffer from the noise pollution. In another statement, it is said that the licenses for the project were obtained from the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization on February 10, 2022. No details on the content of the license Kadıköy and it is not shared with the people of Istanbul. The public's right to receive information about the content of the project is prevented, and a transparent process is not implemented.
The plundering process negatively affects the ecosystem and living things.
Reminding that 250 trees were cut down after the decision of the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, "EIA is not required" regarding the project, Ceyda gave the following statements in her statement:
The plundering process directly affects the ecosystem and living life negatively. In the Söğütlüçeşme Project, which is tried to be designed as an alternative to Haydarpaşa Train Station, public resources are plundered by putting the interest of the capital in the center. It is obvious that the place where it is designed as an alternative will not be able to meet the functions it has. The realization of this project will mean the end of employment for many people working in the region, while there is an economic crisis that is making its impact more felt every day. In addition, green areas in city centers should be areas that all living things and people can use more actively. Kadıköy The Municipality, on the other hand, is required to implement Article 3194 of the Law No. 32 by being involved in the issue. Defending this green area is only in Söğütlüçeşme or KadıköyIt is not the duty of the people living in Istanbul, but the duty of all Istanbul people and us university students who defend green spaces against rent.
