Istanbul: City of Intersections

Feature essays from local and international experts paired with extensive research on the social, economic and physical contours of Istanbul document and analyse the region’s major urban trends. Framing essays detail global mobilities, the green economy and hinge cities, while a detailed focus on Istanbul brings its urban growth into perspective with global trends to reframe how one of Europe’s largest and most dynamic cities is understood.
