The photography exhibition Mega Istanbul, presented by Sinan Logie and anthropologist Yoann Morvan, reveals Istanbul’s dramatically rapid and immeasurable urban growth.
This city has been redefined in a continuous struggle over the ages, between conquests, political and religious intrigues, earthquakes and fires, and more.
The multilayered urbanisation has resulted in a megapol with a population of sixteen million. This urban growth has been dramatic over the last decades; this is particularly visible at the margins of the built-up area, revealing the severity and extent of little-known but existing new formations and inequalities.
