Istanbul is one of the most important metropolises of Turkey with its historical and cultural riches, as well as its ever-increasing population and dynamic structuring. However, this large city faces serious challenges, especially in terms of housing needs. Rapid population growth and urbanization processes in Istanbul increase the need for housing day by day, and this situation brings various problems for both current and potential city residents.
The Effect of Population Growth on Housing Demand in Istanbul
Istanbul has a constantly growing population, both through the natural increase of local people and internal migration. This situation causes the existing housing stock to be insufficient to meet the demand. This demand, concentrated in some parts of the city, causes housing prices to rise rapidly and livable areas to gradually decrease.
Urban Transformation and New Housing Projects
As Ağra İnşaat, we attach great importance to urban transformation projects in order to meet the housing needs of Istanbul. Urban transformation does not only mean the renewal of old buildings; It also aims to create sustainable and functional living spaces integrated into city planning. Our new housing projects are designed and built to support modern living standards.
Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable Buildings
As the construction industry, we have a great responsibility to reduce our carbon footprint and promote environmental sustainability. We act with awareness of this responsibility by using materials that comply with green building standards and increasing energy efficiency in our projects. In a large metropolis like Istanbul, increasing environmentally friendly buildings is one of the important factors that directly affects the quality of urban life.
Our Future Vision
We continue to work on reshaping and developing the understanding of urbanism in order to meet Istanbul’s housing needs more effectively. As Ağra İnşaat, we are determined to change the face of Istanbul and offer a more livable, more functional and more aesthetic city environment with innovative projects and strategic planning.
This housing need of Istanbul is not only a sectoral problem, but also a social issue. Therefore, I invite all industry players and all interested parties to work hand in hand for the future of our city. Together, we can build a better Istanbul.
