The former cemetery of Nikaia is a residual space on the border between the city and Mount Aigaleo.

O UN-Habitat assinala a preocupação com a complexidade das iniciativas de reg... Mais

golden trail
still taking the heavy toll of decades of improper industrialization, waste, and ecological management, the golden horn is at the beginning of an inspired and long recovering journey, ready to give back what is taken from nature and people, bearing the lost habitats and climate change in mind. are we going to make it then and there? let's meet in the future!
"golden horn" is an extraordinary geographical formation at the confluence point of two old rivers kagithane and alibeykoy creeks, meandering approximately 8 kilometers, expanding to the Bosphorus, splitting the European side and isolating the old city from the newer one, defining the historical peninsula. It has been in the middle of wars overthrowing the greatest emp... Mais
