In line with our residents’ expectations, we are making the center of Bornova more comfortable.”

Bornova Municipality continues its comprehensive infrastructure and streetscape improvement campaign in the central neighborhoods at full speed, aiming to provide residents with more comfortable, safe and aesthetically pleasing living spaces. Bornova Mayor Ömer Eşki inspected the works on 296/1 Street in Kazım Dirik Neighborhood and 24th and 26th Streets in Erzene Neighborhood, together with municipal officials. During his inspection tour, Mayor Eşki also met with local residents and business owners to hear their requests and concerns.

Major Transformation from Industrial Sites to Modern Living Spaces

Speaking during his inspection on 296/1 Street in Kazım Dirik Neighborhood, where new buildings are rising and population density is increasing as a result of urban transformation projects, Mayor Ömer Eşki emphasized that the area has evolved from its former industrial character into a modern residential district.

Mayor Eşki said:

“In this area, which was previously used for factories and warehouses and has since undergone urban transformation with new buildings being constructed, we have begun rapidly addressing the resulting need for roads, parking and landscaping. We have completed the roadworks. Soon, we will mark the parking spaces in the areas that have recently been finalized and begin landscaping works. We will transform many locations, including the areas you see behind me, into green and landscaped spaces. Whatever needs to be done in line with the needs of the residents living here and the zoning plans, we will implement it one by one and make these improvements available to the people of Bornova.”
