DOES NOT OVERFLOW INTO CROWDED STREETS DUE TO HIGH-RISE SITE ARRANGEMENT

Adnan Kahveci Neighborhood Muhtar Arzum Albayrak told AA reporter that Adnan Kahveci, with a declared population of 111,164, continues to be the most populous neighborhood in Istanbul and the second most populous neighborhood in Turkey this year.

Albayrak stated that the crowd does not reflect on the streets due to the neighborhood being composed of complexes, saying, "Because everyone has their own parking. We have parks and green areas. Therefore, we can observe this crowd proportionally in the neighborhood. There are 50 avenues and 109 streets in our neighborhood. In fact, it does not have a very large surface area. Because it consists of complexes and high-rise buildings, the population count of our neighborhood is very crowded." she said.

Albayrak stated, "We want to measure our size not by numbers, but by the solidarity in the neighborhood. Because our neighbors in the neighborhood are very connected to each other."

Expressing that she faces some difficulties while performing her duties as a woman, Albayrak said, "We turn these difficulties into advantages. Because a woman's communication power, attention to detail, certainly creates different effects among our neighbors. We put in a lot of effort, and we also receive the rewards." she said.
