Slum Stories: Turkey - Find another place to live

Urban development in Turkey has moved rapidly since 2000. This is when the authorities started work to protect old settlements and cultural heritage, but they didn't stop there. Residential areas were tackled as well. This makes residents vulnerable to forced eviction and demolition. The residents of the Ottoman quarter of Tokludede, in Istanbul, were told in 2006 that their quarter would be tackled. They live in fear ever since.
