Urban transformation works continue without slowing down across Türkiye

According to the statement made by the Ministry, urban transformation works are continuing all over Türkiye.

With the work carried out by the Ministry's Urban Transformation Directorate in risky and reserve building areas, new living spaces with safe, durable and social facilities are being built instead of earthquake-resistant structures.

In this context, since 2012, 2 million 761 thousand independent sections throughout Türkiye have been transformed, and the transformation of 2 million 378 thousand independent sections has been completed. The transformation of 383 thousand independent sections continues.

In Kütahya, the transformation of 1489 independent sections was completed. In the Hoca Ahmet Yesevi District of Pazarlar district, 245 residences and 58 workplaces located in risky and reserve building areas were rebuilt.

"Our state had enough power and offered this to us"

Minister Murat Kurum also shared a post on his social account about the citizens who settled in their homes as a result of the urban transformation works carried out in the Pazarlar district of Kütahya.

In its post, Kurum said, "We asked aunt Halime and brother Ramazan in Kütahya, 'Do you like your new house?' His answer sums it all up. "An urban transformation project could not have been explained better." he said.

Halime Bektaş, whose views are included in the images, said, "My house is very beautiful. God granted it, we saw it, we found it." he said.

Ali Türkmen stated that an exemplary transformation was implemented in the neighborhood with the support of the state and said, "We have seen the mud and soil of this neighborhood for 43 years. There were collapsed and ruined houses. When I was a child, our neighborhoods were full of mud. If we tried to clean them, neither the municipality nor any individual could have the power. But our state had the power and offered it to us." he said.
