Emphasizing that the country's rulers should be prepared for disasters by building strong buildings, not blocking streams, and living in harmony with nature, President Erdogan said, "The rest is the will of our Lord.
We rolled up our sleeves right after the last disaster. On the 15th day of the earthquake, we constructed the foundations and began construction in order to relocate our employees to safe structures. In accordance with our plans, we are constructing 650 thousand new dwellings in the seismic zone, 507 thousand of which are residences and 143 thousand of which are village buildings. We intend to rebuild our cities by providing 319 thousand of them in a year.
In fact, on each of my recent travels to the earthquake zone, we had groundbreaking ceremonies for our new dwellings and village houses in each of our cities. So far, we have begun the construction of almost 105 thousand dwellings. We've already established the groundwork for approximately half of them. We don't only build houses. With its school, health facility, bazaar, market, green area, and park, we are creating entirely new living places. We are once again repairing the infrastructure of not only the earthquake-damaged areas but also of all of our cities in the region. We consider both jobs and housing while building small industrial locations. By Allah's grace, we will succeed in the largest housing and urban planning campaign in the Republic's past," he declared.
So far, we have started the construction process of more than 105 thousand houses. We have laid the groundwork for almost half of them.
'In five years, we hope to have no dangerous structures in Istanbul.'
Stating that they have healed the wounds of the previous disasters, Erdogan stated that they aim to not leave risky buildings with urban transformation in Istanbul, and said:
"You know, in many earthquakes, floods, and fires, we have brought together our residents to new people in a short period of period." I think we can do the same thing here. Was this something we did in Van? Did anything similar happen in Bingol? This has occurred in Antalya, Manavgat, and Mula.
Did we actually accomplish it?
We alerted our country about a new urban redevelopment initiative. We made an offer to our Istanbul brothers and sisters who live in dangerous buildings: half of the cost of transformation would be covered by the state, and the other half will be financed with extremely attractive conditions.
We aim not to leave any risky buildings in Istanbul in 5 years by transforming 300 thousand residences per year with a study to be carried out, some of which will be carried out in reserve areas."
Erdogan then watched the images of urban transformation and disaster housing from the television installed in the area, together with the attendees of the ceremony.
