During the last 20 years in the city of Istanbul, stressing the contradictions emerged in the city due to it uncontrolled, non planed and speculative growth.Just having a look towards the big new districts of Istanbul, the results of such unrestrained urban growth are more than evident: overcrowding of the urban environment, increase of the social class differences, disappearance of the characteristics of the original inhabitants, and social rootlessness of the new residents coming from Anatolia. Here are some examples of gated developments that act as communities-towers.
The photos are taken from the personal blog of Pablo Martínez Muñiz, Spanish artist / photographer based in Istanbul and Valencia.
