District guideFrequently Asked Questions
How does urban transformation start in Turkey?
It starts with a risky-building assessment by a ministry-licensed institution. Once the building is designated as risky, the owners decide on redevelopment and the contractor by a simple majority of the shares.
In which areas does ÇET Yapı take on urban transformation projects?
ÇET Yapı provides feasibility, design and turnkey construction for urban transformation projects across Istanbul, particularly in Beşiktaş (Etiler, Levent, Ulus), Kadıköy (Caddebostan, Suadiye, Göztepe, Erenköy), Sarıyer, Bakırköy (Yeşilköy, Florya, Ataköy), Üsküdar and Şişli.
Is there state support for urban transformation?
Yes. Under the Ministry's Yarısı Bizden campaign in Istanbul, owners of risky buildings can receive a 875,000 TL grant, 875,000 TL loan and 125,000 TL relocation support per home until 31 December 2027.
Is building completion insurance mandatory for the contractor?
Yes. For projects under Law No. 6306, since 9 November 2024 the contractor must take out building completion insurance or provide another prescribed guarantee before the building permit.
About urban transformation
What is Urban Transformation?
Urban transformation refers to the process of demolishing and rebuilding problematic areas in cities to make them healthier and more livable, in line with the needs and challenges of urban environments. It is a human-centered approach aimed at improving living standards. Urban transformation projects should be built upon economic, social, and communal foundations. In summary, urban transformation is about resolving the fundamental issues embedded in the urban fabric of a city.
Urban Transformation Implementation Process
In Türkiye, urban transformation efforts begin when local governments select a location and issue a municipal council decision. Following this decision, an application is submitted to the Urban Renewal Department of the Housing Development Administration (TOKİ), and a preliminary protocol is signed.
Within six months of signing this protocol, local authorities are required to complete the following:
