Istanbul City of Water

“Istanbul is a clear example of the
sustainability challenges facing
humanity with more than 50% of
the world’s population now living
in urban areas, and with many
cities rapidly growing. There are
over 300 cities in the world with a
population greater than 1 million,
and 23 megacities with more than
10 million, including Istanbul.
Water is just one of many themes
cities need to address, but a critical
one that integrates a number
of sustainability issues.”
(Citaat: Easton, P., Sjerps, R.M.A., van Leeuwen, C,J. – Istanbul City of Water – Urban Water Journal (2014), p.21-29)
