| Summary: | The Turkish metropolis of Istanbul is not only on the transect between the European and Asian continents, it is also in the middle of a struggle between history and tradition and the emergence into the modern. Ali Kurultay and Aynur Demir offer an engrossing insight into the city on the Bosporus with its building history and the challenges that are now facing modern Istanbul. Some of these are the construction of large infrastructures, plans for a new financial center in the Asian part of the city, a municipal renovation program and the preservation of its architectural heritage. |
