The Potential of Istanbul's Unprogrammed Public Spaces
10.1002/ad.1010.abs
Istanbul recreates itself constantly. A continually evolving city, it can be likened to a living organism. As Hülya Ertaş explains it owes much of its vibrancy and heterogeneity to its unprogrammed spaces. These create a blank canvas for the metropolis' citizens and their activities. They are also at the essence of the city's enviable diversity, as they provide important meeting places for a rich mix of social and ethnic groups. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
