Decline in Population in 3 Istanbul Districts: Highest Rate of Single Living in Most Affected Area
Researchers at the Science Culture Education Foundation have conducted a thorough analysis of the socioeconomic landscape in Istanbul’s districts. Enes Koru, a researcher at the foundation, compiled a comprehensive report detailing the differences in demography, economy, health, education, environment, transportation, and social life across the various districts of Istanbul.
According to Ahmet Sait Öner, Chairman of the Foundation, the report sheds light on the urbanization dynamics, migration patterns, and their impacts on the districts of Istanbul. The aim of the report is to provide valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and members of the community to better understand the socioeconomic challenges and opportunities in the city.
One of the key findings in the report is the population fluctuations in different districts of Istanbul. While areas like Fatih, Kadikoy, and Sisli have experienced a decrease in population, districts like Beylikdüzü have seen a significant increase in population over the past decade. Öner highlighted the importance of addressing these population trends to ensure sustainable growth and development in the city.
Furthermore, the report delves into the issue of income inequality and its impact on consumption habits in Istanbul. It reveals that high-income districts tend to consume natural resources like water and energy at a much higher rate compared to lower-income districts. This disparity underscores the need for targeted interventions to promote equitable access to resources and services across all districts.
In terms of education, the report indicates significant improvements in the higher education levels in districts like Sultangazi, Sultanbeyli, and Esenyurt over the last decade. Öner emphasized the importance of providing equal educational opportunities to all residents, regardless of their socioeconomic background, to ensure inclusive growth and development in the city.
Overall, the research conducted by the Science Culture Education Foundation offers valuable insights into the socioeconomic landscape of Istanbul and provides a roadmap for addressing the challenges and opportunities facing the city’s diverse districts.
