The Golden Horn is a large inlet that seperates “old and new� Istanbul and provides transportation, commerce and life to exist along its edges. A sports complex, ferry terminal, performance center, and new space for commerce along the roads busy edge have been added. The expansion will create new public amenities along the shore, in turn bringing people from the Balat neighborhood and people from other areas into a vibrant newly defined urban space.
