Murat Kurum, the Minister of Environment and Urbanization, reported on the expansion of practices for the introduction of «smart» city systems in Turkey. The concept includes the construction of houses with increased energy efficiency, which will be able to adapt to climatic features and will be as environmentally friendly as possible.
Along with the construction of innovative development projects, the attention is also paid to the reasonable development of transport, the creation of park zones, as well as green areas, and the expansion of the existing network of bike paths. According to the initiative, the cities of Turkey should become more environmental and even more attractive for living.
