“Greenbelt parks are among the most important outcomes of our urban renewal and planned urbanization efforts. Through our new-generation regional parks, which are highly important for the future of our city, we are making access to green and social spaces as widespread as possible. With four new greenbelt parks that we have begun constructing in different neighborhoods of the district, we are bringing new social and green spaces to Karatay. In addition to green areas and landscaping, our parks will feature social and sports facilities where children, young people and residents of different age groups can enjoy spending time. We will continue to increase the number of social spaces in every neighborhood of Karatay where our residents can breathe, and where our children and young people can spend their time enjoying themselves.”
