ishing ports fading into oblivion will be reconstructed within
the scope of the project that will use 5-anchor marina
concept. Consisting of social facilities also open to the
public, the project will cover 150 square meters of green space,
a marina with a capacity to accommodate 750 yachts, a hotel to
be built on small islands, as well as commercial units to serve
the boat owners and the people of Tuzla. Viaport Marin that will
appeal to young and old alike with a huge park and playgrounds is
preparing for creating distinction with the marine hotel to be built
for the first time in Turkey. It is projected that Tuzla will get rid
of the industrial facilities to become a new life center in Istanbul
where distances become shorter with the development of the
transportation network. An aerial monorail transport system will
be connected to the marina that will host 25 million tourists on
annual basis. The project is scheduled to be completed 1 year
later. Tuzla that was once a summer resort and a model for
low-rise condominiums will present the Viaport Marin projects to
its population that is expected to reach some 400 thousand.

into practice for the first time in Turkey. This project will be a gift for
our both domestic and foreign guests. Tuzla will become the most
favorable summer resort in Istanbul. Guests will be able to shop over
the sea, stay at the hotel, and swim in a seawater pool covering an

AERIAL MONORAIL CONNECTION
PROJEYE HAVARAY ‹LE ULAfiIM
Stating that one of the projects aimed at renewing Tuzla is
transportation, Istanbul Metropolitan Mayor Kadir Topbas said,
“We will bring two separate metro lines and an aerial monorail
system to the region. Viaport Marin will be a very important
activity center in Istanbul. 25 million people will come here
every year.” Also stating that the project will be a point of
attraction in Istanbul with beaches, exhibition areas, promenade
areas and a marina, Topbas continued, “People will come here
to see the project from Asian and Anatolian sides of Istanbul
using metro system. Tourists will want to stay at hotels here.
This place will not be the summer resort of the past anymore,
but a four-season tourism center. We will also construct an
aerial monorail system from the metro line.”
Tuzla’y› yenileme projelerinden birinin ulafl›m oldu¤unu söyleyen
‹stanbul Büyükflehir Belediye Baflkan› Kadir Topbafl, “Bölgeye iki
ayr› metro hatt› ve havaray getirece¤iz. Viaport Marin, ‹stanbul’un çok önemli bir aktivite merkezi olacak. Y›lda 25 milyon
insan buraya gelecek” dedi. Projenin plajlar, sergi alanlar›, gezi
alanlar› ve marinas›yla ‹stanbul’un cazibe merkezi haline
gelece¤ini kaydeden Topbafl, “Projeyi Asya ve Avrupa yakas›ndan
görmeye, yaflamaya metrolarla gelecekler. Turistler burada
konaklamak isteyecek. Buras› art›k eskilerin yazl›k mekan› de¤il,
dört mevsim yaflayan bir turizm merkezi olacak. Metro hatt›ndan
buraya bir havaray sistemi yapaca¤›z” diye devam etti.
Stating that new projects could be supplemented to the main project,
Topbas said, “Think about a train, a subsea train. It will dive into
the sea to provide the opportunity to see the sunken ships. Build an
aquarium under the sea for the first time to create dynamism. These
are the projects to be implemented by investors who are open to new
ideas. It will make significant contributions to Istanbul’s competitive
power in the world. Tuzla that seems to be the far end point of the
city will become a center of attraction once again. There is also a
street tram project. Once it has been completed, Istanbul’s heart will
beat there. This project will impress all people in the world and it
will serve as a model project. We want all people to look up to this
city. Istanbul will have a new point of attraction after the Vialand.
I want Istanbul to be a city, about which the world speaks.” &
Projeye yeni projelerin eklenebilece¤ini de belirten Topbafl,
“Burada bir tren düflünün. Deniz alt› treni, denize dals›n alttaki
bat›klar› görsün. Deniz dibine ilk defa bir akvaryum yap›n ve
orada bir hareketlilik olsun. Bunlar yeni fikirlere aç›k olan
yat›r›mc›lar›n ortaya koyaca¤› projeler. ‹stanbul’un dünyadaki
rekabet gücüne büyük katk› koyacak. Kentin en uç noktas› gibi
görünen Tuzla yeniden devreye giriyor. Cadde tramvay› var orada.
O da katk› koydu¤u zaman ‹stanbul’un nabz› orada atacak. Bu
proje bütün dünya insanlar›n› etkileyecek ve model al›nan bir proje
olacak. Arzumuz bu flehirde yaflayanlar bu flehre hayranl›k

sonra yeni bir alan daha kazan›yor. ‹stanbul dünyan›n konufltu¤u
bir kent olsun diyorum” dedi. &
