New Regulations Come into Force for Rising Skyscrapers in Istanbul

Skyscrapers rising in Istanbul in recent years are changing the skyline of the city and also triggering urban transformation and development. However, some problems regarding the construction and use of these structures brought about a new regulation change.

According to a recent statement made by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, stricter construction standards have been introduced for new skyscrapers due to increasing height and density levels. These standards were determined taking into account engineering and environmental factors and aim to make buildings more durable and sustainable.

The new regulation is considered a serious step in building safety, especially in big cities such as Istanbul, which has a high earthquake risk. With this change, construction companies and projects may face a process that requires more construction costs and meticulousness. However, in the long term, it is believed that these regulations will improve the quality and safety of urban transformation projects.
