Marmara Region Spatial Development Strategic Framework Published
In his speech, Mr. Büyükakın said, “With the MSDSF, it is aimed to evaluate the current problems and potentials of the Marmara Region, and to address its future spatial development strategies at the regional level. The study has a very special place within MMU’s own history. Together with our works on the Sea of Marmara that we started a while ago and Marmara Urban Forum which we organized second time on 1-3 October 2021, we have taken a very important step based on the regional approach with MSDSF.”
Emphasizing that the document exceeds the borders of the Marmara Region, Mr. Büyükakın further added, “We included 3 more neighbouring cities along with all cities in the region into the study. In this way, the framework document covers the working areas of the 5 development agencies associated with the region and ensure a holistic perspective.”
