POPULATION DENSITY REPORT

In our country, 85 million people live in 783,000 km². This makes 110 people per km². It is 108th in the world, somewhere in the middle.

Density shows the poor regions in the cities of our age. India, China, West Africa have the most dense settlements. Western Europe is also dense, but not on a neighborhood basis, but on a provincial basis.

Turkey Neighborhood Based Density Map

When we look at the density maps of the country, the affecting factors are:

  • City Centers, Sea Shores and Plains Suitable for Agriculture are the reason for the density.
  • Mountains are green, people do not live.

In Turkey, the Istanbul - Düzce - Bursa Triangle is very dense. The Mersin - Adana - Gaziantep - Hatay - Kahramanmaras region is in second place. Ankara is alone in the steppe and does not affect its surroundings much. Izmir, on the other hand, spreads to the deltas with the agricultural towns around it. The Black Sea coast appears dense but does not reach a very large number in total.

In Silifke, you can see the low density region starting from the sea and going to Ardahan. Similarly, you will see the western line between the Western Black Sea Mountains and Silifke.

The Most Dense Region of Turkey

The most densely populated area in Turkey is the area between Bagcilar - Bahçelievler - Esenler - Güngörenden, TEM - E5 - Basin Ekspres - O3 Connection Road.

1.4 million people live in 23 km² in 40 selected neighborhoods. 1.65% of the country's population is squeezed into 7x3.5 km².

Bagcilar Bahçelievler Güngören Esenler Quadrangle

12 Million People in 40 km

There are 12 million people living in 433 neighborhoods in Istanbul, in 462 km². This is the reason for the traffic and housing nightmare. As if that were not enough, more than a million foreigners were brought here.

Turks Can Also Live in a Duplex with a Garden

If we were to build a 50 m² duplex (100 m² house) + 200 m² house with a garden for each family on a 250 m² plot (There are 20,000,000 nuclear family households) We would need an area of ??5,000 km². Let's say 10,000 km² including roads, workplaces, public areas. Let's see how it looks on the map and where it corresponds. We can have the entire country living in houses with gardens in an area of ??approximately 130 km x 75 km. With regular roads, green areas, public service areas and production areas.

10,000 km² Looks Like This on the Map

FINAL WORD

The question of why it can't be done is very open to discussion. Has an idealist, visionary, people-loving team never governed the country in all these years and we are suffering in the chronicle of bad cities?

Why can't our cities, which are living with the risk of a deadly earthquake, be transformed? It is a discussion that will turn into "how does the chicken come from the egg?" A solution that will prioritize philosophy and sociology can be put forward, but the number of those who will say "what does philosophy have to do with it" is overwhelming in our country. UNFORTUNATELY.
