Located in the middle of the mostly upmarket Kadıköy district and near the road connected to Istanbul’s Bosphorus Bridge, the neighborhood had become a prized area for new urban projects. Some 50,000 housing projects are expected to be built in the next three years, generating an economy of around 40,000 billion Turkish Liras. Meanwhile, groups of Syrian refugees have also settled in other urban renewal areas near the city’s historic district. There is no exact data on the number of Syrian refugees in Istanbul, but according to a recent statement by Deputy Prime Minister Beşir Atalay, the official number of refugees has exceeded the one million mark.
