"Cities have always been global nodes where people, cultures and goods
intersect. More than any other of the Urban Age cities, Istanbul has
performed this function for several thousand years: a global ‘hinge’
city that connects civilisations and continents.
While it may not be growing at the dizzying pace of Mumbai or Shanghai,
nor suffering from the widening social inequality and violence of São Paulo,
Mexico City or Johannesburg, Istanbul faces many of the same challenges
confronted by all Urban Age cities including London, Berlin and New York:
economic stability, social cohesion and climate change." Urban Age Istanbul Newspaper (PDF)

Orhan, have you already seen the latest issue of Arch+? The theme is "Istanbul goes green". See it here (translated from German via Google Translate). And also see a preview of the issue as flip show here.
oh yeah... it is great content but a huge scandal with the magazine for not checking-in with the guest editors for naming the issue and juxtapositioning it with irrelevant agenda... more coming up soon in archinect news... a bit scandalous. i am forwarding the news to you..
