I. THE TERRITORY OF ISTANBUL
The
peninsula
in
which
the
city
of
Istanbul
is
located,
for
almost
3000
years
has
been
a
zone
valued
and
coveted
by
many
due
to
his
geographical
loca)on.
It
is
in
the
Bosporus
Strait,
divided
in
two
parts,
one
in
Asia
and
other
one
in
Europe.
For
his
unsurpassable
loca)on,
one
of
the
constants
that
mark
the
evolu)on
of
the
city,
are
the
constant
invasions
of
different
groups
and
empires
across
the
years.

II. THE ORIGIN- BIZAS.
The
first
ves)ges
of
se@lements
of
the
zone
date
back
to
667
B.C.
The
zone
was
occupied
by
a
Greek
people
dedicated
to
the
fishing
called
Ligos.
Almost
1000
years
before
the
emperor
Constan)ne
named
it
the
capital
of
the
new
Roman
empire,
a
Greek
se@ler
of
name
Bizas
navigated
across
the
Aegean
Sea,
crossing
Marmara's
sea
towards
the
entry
of
the
Bosporus,
narrow
channel
of
approximately
27
km
between
a
double
row
of
rocky
hills
that
were
used
as
separa)on
between
Europa's
con)nents
and
Asia,
which
was
ending
in
the
Black
Sea.
The
history
says
that
before
Bizas
departs
from
his
natal
city,
Megara,
he
asked
to
the
oracle
where
it
should
construct
his
new
city
to
what
the
oracle
answered:
"
opposite
to
the
blind
people
".
On
the
Asian
coast
opposite
to
the
peninsula,
a
few
primi)ve
Greek
groups
were
already
founded,
towards
674
B.C,
the
city
of
Calcedonia,
behind
the
territory
of
Byzan)um.
It
was
not
figng
doubt,
that
they
have
should
been
blind
not
to
see
the
advantages
of
a
zone
placed
to
li@le
less
than
one
kilometer,
in
the
opposite
shore.
The
emplacement
was
unsurpassable
because
it
was
placed
in
a
peninsula
that
was
easy
to
defend
crea)ng
a
protected
gulf
where
to
locate
several
ports
to
what
it
was
called
the
"
horn
of
gold
".
It
was
The
Tracia's
capital
being
under
the
Greek
control.
Due
to
the
assaults
provoked
since
its
founda)on,
a
wall
was
constructed
like
defense
both
in
the
terrestrial
limits
and
in
the
ports
and
mari)me
borders.
The
city
during
this
period
was
constructed
similarly
to
other
Greek
ci)es,
with
orthogonal
planes
and
public
buildings
where
the
people
was
mee)ng.
Likewise,
the
acropolis
was
constructed
on
the
oriental
hill
of
the
peninsula.
It
con)nued
being
constructed
out
of
the
wall
with
buildings
dedicated
to
the
spectacle.
It
had
the
aspect
of
a
city
average
that
alone
was
occupying
a
part
of
the
peninsula.

In
the
3rd
century
D.C.
aSer
the
fall
of
Greece,
the
city
passed
to
Roman
hands.
During
this
stage
the
capital
of
the
empire
was
Urbs,
in
spite
of
that
it
was
demonstra)ng
to
be
inefficient,
for
what
it
was
Diocle)an
who
at
the
end
of
the
3rd
century,
divided
the
empire
and
named
the
second
capital
in
Nicomedia,
near
Byzan)um.
Byzan)um
was
not
chosen
due
to
the
fact
that
it
was
recovering
of
the
destruc)on
happened
in
the
year
197
and
262.
From
his
origins
up
to
the
consolida)on
like
the
new
capital
of
Rome,
Byzan)um
was
affected
by
a
series
of
constant
occupa)ons
by
some
tribes
of
the
surroundings,
which
led
to
a
constant
destruc)on
and
reconstruc)on
of
the
city,
for
what
the
evolu)on
of
the
same
stopped

city

III. THE NEW ROME.
For
the
4th
century,
Byzan)um
was
a
city
flogged
by
the
wars.
It
was
the
refuge
of
Licinio,
the
co-‐emperor
who
would
die
to
Constan)ne's
hands,
turning
this
one
into
the
only
emperor
of
the
Roman
empire.
Under
this
new
context,
the
emperor
decided
to
turn
to
the
city
of
Byzan)um
the
new
capital,
the
works
being
awarded
to
turn
it
into
the
major
city
that
no
one
had
ever
seen
and
an
economic
and
commercial
point
of
reference
to
the
ancient
world.
It
was
called
the
New
Rome,
but
later
it
was
announced
as
Constan)nople.

Evolu)on
of
the
growth
in
the
city
during
the
Roman
empire.
From
the
330
to
447
A.C.
The
new
capital
of
the
Roman
empire
was
extending
4
km
beyond
the
walls
of
former
Byzan)um
of
the
3rd
century.
The
works
of
reconstruc)on
and
extension
began
in
the
year
324
A.C.
There
was
in
use
the
force
of
40,000
Gothic
men
and
6
years
of
construc)on
without
sparing
effort
in
expenses
to
complete
the
dreamed
capital.
Constan)ne
inaugurated
the
New
Rome
on
May
11
of
330.
5
The
imperial
buildings
were
constructed
according
to
Roman
models.
They
used
marble
of
the
islands
of
the
Marmara
sea,
and
wood
of
the
forests
that
surround
the
Black
Sea.
They
constructed
on
the
founda)ons
of
the
former
city
and
its
remains
were
in
use
for
construc)ng
the
new
buildings.
Between
the
new
elements
that
the
city
had,
were:
2
theaters,
8
public
baths,
153
private
baths,
52
por)coes,
5
granaries,
8
aqueducts
or
cisterns,
14
churches,
14
palaces
and
4388
houses
of
the
enough
size
to
be
catalogued
with
an
orthogonal
trace
of
streets.
Due
to
the
growth
of
the
city
and
the
popula)on,
it
became
necessary
to
extend
the
limits
of
the
city
between
the
Horn
of
Gold
and
the
Marmara
sea
to
defend
this
growth
in
the
borders
of
the
city,
they
constructed
a
great
triple
line
of
walls
of
5
kilometers
of
length
and
8
meters
of
thickness
with
192
watchtowers
and
a
pit
of
20
m.
in
width
and
7
m.
in
depth.
Previously,
the
walls
had
been
constructed
along
the
coast
of
the
sea
of
Marmara
and
the
golden
horn,
for
what
the
city
turned
into
a
strength
with
almost
20
kilometers
of
walls
and
50
strengthened
doors.
Inside
the
walls
that
were
surrounding
the
city
there
was
some
avenues
and
a
dense
network
of
narrow
streets.
Many
of
the
streets
were
not
allowing
the
access
of
a
car,
by
what
the
traffic
and
transport
became
common
by
means
of
camels,
mules
or
to
back
of
the
same
men.
The
streets
were
full
of
peddlers.

Constan)nople
did
not
have
residen)al
special
neighborhoods
for
the
high
classes.
The
houses
of
the
rich
ones
were
close
to
modestly
homes
of
the
middle
or
low
classes.
Nevertheless,
the
houses
of
the
high
classes
were
obtaining
certain
isola)on
by
means
of
a
blind
front
of
stone
that
was
giving
towards
the
street,
commonly
with
two
levels
and
balconies.
The
low
classes
were
packed
in
houses
of
one
level
or
in
groups
of
tenements
spread
by
the
whole
city.
6
The
water
that
was
coming
to
the
city
across
aqueducts
was
coming
from
the
surrounding
hills.
The
construc)on
of
covered
cisterns
and
outdoors
used
the
topography
of
the
hills
and
to
construct
over
them
in
a
horizontal
plane
the
rest
of
the
urban
plot.
The
drainage
was
transported
by
pipelines
up
to
the
sea.

street
of
the
city,
which
was
going
from
the
walls
of
the
side
of
the
land
in
the
western
part
up
to
the
doors
of
the
imperial
palace,
was
called
Mese
or
central
street.
It
was
considered
to
be
the
royal
avenue
where
the
imperial
processions
were
happening
and
where
the
best
shops
of
the
city
were
situated.
All
the
principal
avenues
were
ending
near
the
most
important
part
of
the
city.
The
Filadelfion
was
considered
to
be
the
navel
of
the
city,
was
the
place
where
the
principal
streets
of
the
city
crossed.
The
life
of
the
city
was
centered
in
three
big
structure
or
group
of
building:
the
racetrack,
the
sacred
imperial
palace
and
the
church
of
Saint
Sofia.
They
were
represen)ng
the
three
principal
elements
of
the
Byzan)ne
world:
the
people,
the
imperial
authority
and
the
religion.
They
were
in
the
central
plateau
where
in
the
past
the
Greek
acropolis
was.
Neighborhoods
were
formed
for
every
union
of
the
industry.
The
ordinance
for
the
construc)on
was
strict.
The
streets
must
have
3,10
m
of
width.
The
balconies
had
to
be
to
4,60
m
over
the
street
level
and
must
not
stand
out
without
leaving
free
3

IV. THE OTOMAN EMPIRE
From
300
1200
A.C.
Constan)nople
was
a
vic)m
of
numerous
wars,
ba@les
and
sites
by
the
Russians,
Turks,
Arabs,
and
others.
In
the
year
1204,
Constan)nople
was
captured
by
the
forces
of
the
Fourth
Crusade.
ASer
this
last
destruc)on,
the
power
of
the
city
was
diminishing.
With
every
assault
and
new
a@empt
of
conquest
it
was
weakening
more
and
more,
un)l
in
the
year
of
1453
the
Turks
guided
by
Mahomet
II,
achieved
the
city
and
Constan)nople
finally
falls
down.
This
date
marks
the
end
of
the
Middle
Ages.
For
a
very
long
)me
the
city
would
con)nue
being
calling
Konstan)niye
but
with
the
)me
it
was
started
to
be
known
as
Istanbul,
a
deforma)on
of
the
Greek
"
to
go
to
the
city
".
One
of
the
first
ac)ons
of
Mehmet
II
when
he
entered
in
the
city
was
realized
of
the
level
of
destruc)on
that
the
city
had,
for
what
he
decided
to
reconstruct
and
to
repopulate
it.
he
started
by
turning
all
the
churches
into
mosques
and
construc)ng
many
more
in
the
whole
city
and
in
the
exterior
of
the
same
one.
The
new
city
under
the
O@oman
empire
would
be
constructed
with
and
over
the
ruins
of
Constan)nople.
An
example
of
how
it
remain
buried
the
Byzan)ne
city
is
the
racetrack,
which
ruins
remained
covered
by
the
excava)on
and
the
construc)on
of
the
blue
mosque.
The
O@omans
surrounded
this
zone
with
impressive
buildings,
equalizing
the
brilliance
that
had
the
racetrack
under
the
Roman
empire.
Likewise
everything
was
re-‐used
and
the
ruins
and
basements
of
the
buildings
and
construc)ons
stayed
covered
and
use
to
construct
on
top
of
them.
The
city
was
built
following
the
urban
development
scheme
of
the
Muslim
city,
with
zones
as
the
Medina
or
the
old
city
where
the
major
mosque
was
and
the
souk
or
market,
the
neighborhoods
or
suburbs
outside
of
the
wall
and
the
fort
or
defensive
castle,
as
well
as
new
palaces.
If
previously
the
tracing
of
the
streets
was
orthogonal,
in
the
epoch
of
the
O@oman
empire
it
was
planned
in
irregular
form,
as
a
labyrinth
of
alleys
with
houses
with
interior
courts
and
scanty
doorways
towards
the
exterior.

Drawing
of
the
city
of
8
Constan)nople
by
the
year
1572
A.C
16th
Century:
during
this
stage
the
city
was
divided
in
4
districts:
Istanbul
proper,
Galta,
Eyüp
and
Üsküdar.
Each
one
of
them
was
shaped
by
urban
and
social
dis)nc)ve
elements.
Eyüp
was
constructed
about
Seyh
Ebus
Ensari´s
tomb,
companion
of
the
prophet
Mohammed,
there
was
also
constructed
a
mosque,
a
religious
school
and
a
kitchen,
which
turned
it
into
a
center
of
peregrinate.
Istanbul
proper,
the
ancient
zone
of
the
city,
was
delimited
by
Theodosian's
walls,
the
Golden
Horn
and
those
of
Marmara's
sea.
The
walls
were
relying
on
27
doors
that
were
giving
to
the
several
residen)al
neighborhoods.
The
district
of
Istanbul
had
15
sub-‐districts,
each
of
them
named
from
agreement
to
a
mosque.
The
ports
and
bays
con)nued
being
fishing
villages.
The
residen)al
neighborhoods
divided
in
agreement
to
communi)es
with
similar
na)onali)es
or
characteris)cs.
The
Greek
Orthodox
patriarchate
had
been
located
in
Fener,
the
Jewish
community
lived
in
Balat
and
Ayvan
Saray,
the
Armenians
and
the
gypsies
lived
in
Sulu
Kule
and
Samatya
and
so
go
on.
The
Divan
Yolu,
was
the
street
or
principal
avenue
that
was
connec)ng
the
racetrack
with
the
great
bazaar
and
the
commercial
and
residen)al
districts
of
one
side
and
with
the
Egyp)an
market
and
the
port
of
the
other
side.
Galata
and
Pera
were
the
diploma)c,
financial,
residen)al
European
and
entertainment
center.
It
was
divided
in
3
parts
with
interior
walls
with
several
doors
that
were
leading
to
different
residen)al
zones.
They
named
in
agreement
to
a
mosque.
The
ports
and
bays
con)nued
being
fishing
villages.
17th
century:
during
this
period
the
factories
of
arsenals
and
weapon
grew
and
used
many
men
and
slaves,
for
what
Galata's
zone
turned
a
red
zone
for
possessing
the
major
number
of
taverns,
brothels
and
residences
for
bachelor
workers.
The
commercial
growth
and
the
agreements
with
other
countries
ended
in
the
crea)on
of
Frenchmen's
new
neighborhoods
who
lived
in
the
Bereketzade's
neighborhood.
To
support
the
commercial
rela)ons
and
with
the
ideological
diversity,
they
were
constructed
in
the
central
zone
of
the
city
of
Istanbul,
Chris)an
temples
for
the
French
community.
In
the
Asian
side
of
the
Bosporus,
in
Üsküdar's
district
they
created
5
sub-‐districts
with
several
quarters
for
Muslims,
Greeks,
Armenian
and
Jewish
popula)on.
9
18th
century:
the
growth
of
a
bourgeois
class
was
seen
in
the
construc)on.
The
royal
family
constructed
more
than
300
imperial
palaces,
numerous
gardens,
pavilions,
fountains,
bridges,
water
infrastructure
and
roads
in
150
years.
They
demolished
and
re-‐accommodated
several
non-‐Muslim
elements
to
give
step
to
new
palaces
and
gardens.
The
new
palaces
and
residences
were
not
isolated
behind
walls
but
they
were
exposed
to
the
public.
The
royal
family
turned
some
imperial
gardens
into
public
gardens
as
the
court
stopped
using
them.
Fountains
and
coffeehouses
were
the
focal
points
of
public
gardens
and
squares,
which
exemplifies
the
growth
of
the
areas
of
recrea)on
and
public
spaces.
They
constructed
mosques
that
were
integra)ng
the
sacred
and
recrea)ve
spaces
to
generate
sociability.
19th
century:
during
this
)me
the
industrial
revolu)on
reached
the
city
of
Istanbul.
The
con)nuous
fires
provoked
by
the
tradi)onal
construc)ons
of
wood
came
to
a
point
in
which
1/50
of
the
city
was
burned,
for
what
the
silhoue@e
and
trace
of
the
city
was
changing
every
50
years.
Changes
and
regula)ons
had
to
be
done
to
give
entry
to
the
modernity
and
to
the
industry.
To
give
step
to
the
modernity
also
meant
to
open
the
road
and
transport
links.
In
the
year
of
1845
Galata's
bridge
was
constructed
and
for
1883
the
Orient
Express
begins
to
operate
connec)ng
Istanbul
and
Paris.

and
for

the
"
Istanbul
European
Side
master
Plan
"
was
proposed
by
Henri
Prost,
who
bases
the
transforma)on
of
the
city
on
two
elements:
the
structural
transforma)on
of
the
exis)ng
city
by
the
adequacy
of
a
system
of
transport
and
a
system
of
green
spaces
as
well
as
the
transforma)on
of
the
exis)ng
urban
fabric.
The
plan
was
based
in
reorganizing
the
city
about
a
"spine"
formed
by
two
principal
arteries
that
were
connec)ng
the
new
areas
of
se@lements
and
the
old
north
part
of
the
city
and
the
central
business
district.
The
Atatürk
Boulevard
that
was
crossing
the
historical
peninsula
of
north
to
south
together
with
the
second
artery
that
would
cross
the
golden
horn
by
crossing
the
Galata´s
bridge
towards
the
commercial
district.
It
proposed
to
open
numerous
avenues
on
the
historical
peninsula
to
facilitate
the
transport.
In
the
decade
of
the
50s
and
60s
they
began
the
works
to
modernize
the
city,
sacrificing
historical
buildings
for
a
network
of
public
transport.

During
the
70s
there
was
a
great
demographic
growth
due
to
the
emigra)on
proceeding
of
Anatolia
due
to
the
great
quan)ty
of
industries
that
existed
in
the
suburbs
of
the
city,
what
carried
a
real-‐estate
explosion
and
the
adhesion
of
several
peoples
of
the
periphery
of
the
city.
The
construc)on
of
the
train
as
well
as
a
plan
to
generate
a
line
of
subway
and
the
adequacy
of
several
zones
in
the
historical
center
had
to
be
studied
in
depth
to
manage
to
create
an
efficient
and
prac)cal
city
but
respec)ng
the
ancient
buildings.
In
the
city
as
in
any
other
part
of
the
Mediterranean
world,
the
residen)al
zones
meet
interlaced
with
the
commercial
districts
genera)ng
an
urban
and
tourist
center
that
tries
to
respect
the
most
the
historical
ruins.
The
wharves
and
bridges
turned
into
linear
walks
or
park
to
increase
the
tourism.

C o n c l u s i o n
Nowadays
many
of
the
works
or
urban
changes
that
appear
to
improve
the
city
turn
into
cases
of
study
that
will
use
as
example
for
other
European
ci)es
as
for
how
to
con)nue
with
the
development
and
growth
of
the
city
respec)ng
the
historical
elements
that
not
only
coexist
one
with
another
in
the
urban
trace,
but
also
the
ones
that
are
under
the
city,
as
well
as
the
best
way
of
suppor)ng
them
and
to
recover
them.
The
plan
of
the
subways
that
raised
several
years
ago
and
that
follows
its
expansion,
had
to
be
restructured
and
turned
into
an
interdisciplinary
work
as
it
faced
the
remains
and
ruins
found
in
the
first
advances
of
excava)on.
The
line
of
the
subway
should
had
planned
to
a
depth
even
major
than
the
average
due
to
all
the
ruins
that
are
dispersed
for
the
whole
city
to
more
than
20
meters
of
depth.
In
the
excava)ons
they
found
enclosed
the
remains
of
ships
that
sank
in
the
port
that
in
the
past
was
covering
a
major
area
of
the
city
and
that
nowadays
is
a
residen)al
zone
to
almost
250
m
of
the
coastal
line.
The
city
follows
a
surprising
growth
as
any
other
historical
city.
Nowadays
the
technologies
of
restructuring
and
urban
planning
have
been
a
topic
of
not
alone
debate
in
Istanbul,
but
in
other
ci)es
that
for
his
historical
past
deserve
certain
specific
regula)ons
as
London
or
Hong
Kong.
Istanbul
is
an
exchequer
that
must
be
respected
and
perpetuated.
The
amalgam
of
cultures
and
history
that
it
possesses
is
an
example
of
centuries
of
social
and
cultural
changes
that
intermingle
to
create
a
unique
place
in
the
world.
