Ömer Bulut: Türkiye is advancing its urban sustainability model to the global level
Baku, May 17, AZERTAC
“Türkiye presents safe, accessible, and sustainable housing policies as a global model for the future of cities and cultural development. The February 2023 earthquakes clearly demonstrated that resilient urban infrastructure is a necessity rather than an option. Following the disaster, the country launched the largest reconstruction effort in its history,” said Ömer Bulut, Türkiye`s Deputy Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, in his remarks at a ministerial roundtable held as part of the WUF13.
Ömer Bulut stressed that Türkey’s approach goes beyond rebuilding what has been destroyed, focusing instead on preparing cities for the future in a more resilient, sustainable, low-carbon, and climate-adapted way. He added that efforts continue on safe housing, strong infrastructure, energy efficiency, clean energy use, and the integration of renewable energy into the housing sector.
