Research Question
Is lack of green spaces in Istanbul a real “life-threatening” problem for the locals?
Problem Statement
In the last few decades, there has been a dramatic pace of degradation in green spaces in Istanbul. According to a statement published by TÜRÇEK, the green spaces in Istanbul are fading away, while Istanbul starts to suffocate. The sub-Saharan temperatures in summer impacts the citizens and the city greatly because of the uncontrolled urbanization and the lack of trees (TÜRÇEK, 2009). Those words manage to illustrate the problem almost well, if not enough.

Green spaces play a big role in developed areas to play and socialize, and making communities more stable compared to the rural places. In last three decades, there is an enormous loss of green spaces in urban areas. Majority reasoning of this loss is, building lots of shopping malls, industrial buildings such as factories, residences, and roadways and any other structure which destroys the environment, and decreasing the amount of green spaces in the world. In Istanbul, it is nearly the same with rest of the world. In the last twenty years, Istanbul is getting bigger and bigger and developing a great deal. As an outcome of that, Istanbul contains lots of factories, skyscrapers, malls and any other buildings now and they are being constructed on “empty” spaces which is mostly the green spaces or places that are candidates to becoming a green space. According to this, the results of loss will be in the same way as the world. There are lots of impacts of lack of green spaces but these three specific topics are the most effecting and damaging …show more content…
And communities will be less interesting and intriguing. In the same way, if there are no green spaces to go on foot or with green vehicles, it will increase the sales of automobiles and the usage of public transportation, so it will increase the usage of fossil fuel. Additional tree and vegetative growth provides shades and lowers urban temperatures, reducing the need for air‐conditioning and energy costs. On the other hand, environmental problems are linked with economic problems. To illustrate, normally trees’ and plants’ growth lowers urban temperatures and reduces the usage of air conditioning and energy expenses. So it will do the exact opposite of this situation and increase the costs and
