The documentary film, directed by Turkish filmmaker Aslihan Unaldi, tells the story of Istanbul’s struggle to come to terms with accelerated population growth and car-centric policies that have dominated its development in the last five decades – issues that are challenging megacities around the world. Once an ancient imperial capital, now a bustling modern megalopolis, will Istanbul renew itself once again, or succumb to uncontrolled motorization and urban growth? Featuring interviews with Dogan Kuban, John Freely, Edhem Eldem and others.
A question & answer session with Director Aslihan Unaldi and Executive Producer & EMBARQ Turkey Founder Sibel Bulay will follow the film screening. An opening reception will be held.
