Istanbul: mega-city straddling two continents
Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey and a major commercial, industrial, cultural and logistics centre, has undergone major transformations, particularly during the past half century. Benefiting from an influx of major resources from both within and outside of Turkey, it has established itself as a noteworthy player in the international marketplace. The city, however, faces challenges that could jeopardise its ambition to become a major regional centre for finance, tourism, culture, logistics and selected high-technology industries. Constraints on human capital development, the extent of the informal sector, and deficiencies in local governance are hindering productivity levels and overall efficiency and effectiveness. Istanbul urgently needs a much-improved, integrated strategic planning system, as well as a national strategy to reduce regional disparities; limit further urban sprawl due to migration; and establish carrying-capacity levels concerning all metropolitan parameters.
