camiellalouisa sehidou on 22 Mar 16Turkey has received an urban explosion that developed it's nations from a musty barren land to a trans-global hub. The technology has advanced, transportation, the environment is clearer as pollution levels have gone down. This was not something done overnight, Turkey had started implementing policies since the 1980s such as gecekondu. Today cities can produce their own revenues, have elected officials, and make their own deals with foreign nations. Yes, the standard of living and income has increased but there are disadvantages with this in the sense that the roads are congested. Less public transportation use. They have also been privatizing public areas which most citizens disagree was they areas are symbolic.
