Ecological Bridge Corridor for Istanbul | worldarchitecturenews.com

“A dramatic master-plan has been unveiled to build major transportation route bridging the waterfronts of Istanbul to the Asian side of Turkey. The project includes the creation of a 2 kilometre continuous ecological corridor (with eco bridges) which in addition serves as a new urban park for the city. The creation of the corridor will make the area’s biodiversity whole again by linking the mountain and upland ecology to the north with the coastal ecology to the south.”
