The Marmaray Project is a commuter rail system designed to unify Istanbul’s two independent rail transportation systems, and it will connect Halkalı on the European side with Gebze on the Asian side of the city. With the beginnings of rail construction in the 1870s, the waters of the Bosphorus separated the Oriental Railway on the European side from the Anatolian and the Baghdad Railway, preventing a direct connection between Europe and Asia.

  • Marmaray Project - Turkey
    MARMARAY PROJECT - TURKEY Istanbul is a city where historical and cultural values must be preserved and at the same time modern railway facilities have to be installed to decrease the environmental impact of public transportation and increase the capacity, reliability and comfort of the railway systems. The Project provides an upgrading of the commuter rail system in Istanbul, connecting Halkalı on the European side to the Asian side with an uninterrupted, modern, high-capacity commuter rail system. Railway tracks in both sides of Istanbul Strait will be connected to each other through a railway tunnel connection under the Istanbul Strait. The line goes underground at Yedikule, continues through the Yenikapı and Sirkeci new underground stations, passes under the Istanbul Strait, connects to the Üsküdar new underground station and emerges at Sögütlüçesme. The entire upgraded and new railway system will be approximately 76 km long. The main structures and systems; include the immersed tube tunnel, bored tunnels, cut-and-cover tunnels, at - grade structures, three new underground stations, 37 surface stations (renovation and upgrading), operations control centre, yards, workshops, maintenance facilities, upgrading of existing tracks including a new third track on ground, completely new electrical and mechanical systems and procurement of modern railway vehicles. The idea of a railway tunnel under the Istanbul Strait was first raised in 1860. However, where the tunnel under the Istanbul Strait crosses the deepest parts of the Strait, the old-fashioned techniques would not allow the tunnel to be on or under the seabed, and therefore the design indicated a "floating" type of tunnel placed on pillars constructed on the seabed.

  • Chapter 3 Road Network and Traffic Volume
    The Study on Integrated Urban Transportation Master Plan for Istanbul Metropolitan Area in the Republic of Turkey Final Report Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Road Network and Traffic Volume 3.1 Road Network 3.1.1 Inter-regional Road Network 1) Existing Road Turkey is situated at the transit corridor between South-east Europe and the Middle East. Since “The Declaration for The Construction of International Arteries” (AGR) prepared by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE) in 1950 in Geneva, Turkey has developed international corridors connecting it to Southern Europe, because the international road network of AGR included an extension to Turkey. According to the provisions of AGR, two arteries should reach Turkey as E-Road. These are E-80 entering from the Bulgarian border (Kapikule) and E-90 entering from the Greek border (Ipsala). These two main routes link the International Road Network of Europe with the Middle East and Asia at southern and eastern borders of Turkey via Anatolia. Source: KGM, Ministry of Transportation Figure 3.1.1 International Road Network through Turkey, 2007 In addition to the E-Roads, the Trans-European Motorway (TEM) project is ongoing and it covers the whole country as an expressway network. The TEM highway network in Turkey starts from Edirne at the Bulgarian border and passes through Istanbul via the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge and parts into two branches in Ankara going eastward and southward. Its eastern branch again parts into two branches in Askale. One of them reaches Trabzon in the Black Sea Region, and the other ends in Gurbulak at the Iranian border.

  • The Happiest City in Turkey: Letter from Eskişehir June 2-4, 2018
    1 The Happiest City in Turkey: Letter from Eskişehir June 2-4, 2018 © Houchang E. Chehabi, 2018 2 A few years ago I attended a talk in which the Turkish city of Eskişehir featured prominently. The speaker showed us how the municipal authorities had restored buildings and rebuilt bridges, turning the city into a visually pleasant place, thereby making it an attractive place to live. And a few months ago I read an article which said that the people of Eskişehir are the happiest in Turkey. So when I learnt that the city is now connected to Istanbul by a bullet train, I decided to go and see for myself. Getting to the train terminal was a bit time-consuming but not difficult. For the time being the bullet train’s Istanbul terminal is located at Pendik, about 25 kilometers east of the city’s core. I took the tram from Sultanahmet to Sirkeci, thence the Marmaray train to Ayrılık Çeşmesi. Here I changed to the Metro, getting off at the Pendik station, where taxis were waiting to take passengers to the train station. Istanbul-Eskişheir ticket cost less than $ 10.00! The bullet train is Siemens-built, and there are plans to extend the network to all the major Turkish cities. The ride was pleasant. At times the speed was an unremarkable 60 km/h, but I have no complaints, since building tracks straight enough for very high velocities would have wreaked havoc on the very beautiful hilly landscape south-east of Istanbul. (Coming back from Eskişehir two days later, the train accelerated from stand-still to 250 km/h in a mere five minutes.) Figure 1: A YHT train at the Eskişehir station At the station in Eskişehir I hailed a taxi and told the driver to take me to the merkez, where I could find an otel.

  • Re-Exploring Late Ottoman Buildings in Today's Istanbul
    International Journal of Architectural Research Irem Maro Kırış RE-EXPLORING LATE OTTOMAN BUILDINGS IN TODAY’S ISTANBUL Irem Maro Kırış Bahcesehir University, Istanbul, Turkey [email protected] Abstract The late-Ottoman early-Republican period had delineated a unique, heterogeneous stage in the course of Istanbul’s transformation into a modern city. Istanbul at the turn of the 19th century, exhibited a setting under influence of political, ideological, historical, cultural and social factors. The active, long settlement history, imperial heritage, urban texture, cosmopolitan social structure, metropolitan growth, westernization, nationalism, demands of contemporary city life, the modern integrating with the existent local were among them. In this study, architecture of the late-Ottoman Istanbul will be explored through selected buildings that reflected the architectural/urban development of their time, held significance in terms of function, form/style, technology and urban features, represented leading architects’ work, specific trends, and marked strategic locations. Consecutive part of the study will cover a re-exploration of these buildings in their current condition, after a century has passed since they were constructed. Such a comparison, besides providing a record of urban transformation in Istanbul, discloses different faces of the encounter with globalization, and points to contemporary local and global architectural problems of the metropolis in general. Keywords: Late-Ottoman architecture; Istanbul; modernity; urban transformation; historical significance.
