In Istanbul, a city with numerous buildings not resistant to earthquakes, a renovation program intended to secure these structures is facing significant challenges. The "Marmara Hain" project in the Beylikdüzü district serves as a stark example of these failures; what is advertised as a modern residential complex with amenities like swimming pools and tennis courts has stalled, with only two unfinished buildings present amidst a vast construction site. This situation highlights the broader issue of how Istanbul's efforts to renovate older, vulnerable buildings are frequently failing, leaving projects incomplete and residents potentially still at risk, despite the program's aims.
