In the early years of the Turkish Republic, Ä°stanbul was overlooked in favour of Ankara which became the new capital. However, starting in the late 1940s and early 1950s, Ä°stanbul underwent great dynamic changes as new public squares - such as Taksim Square were added to the city. New boulevards and avenues were constructed throughout the city even though it was done sometimes at the expense of the demolition of many historical buildings. Starting from the 1970s, the population of Ä°stanbul began to rapidly increase as people from Anatolia migrated to the city in order to find employment in the many new factories that were opening at the edges of the sprawling city. This sudden sharp rise in the city's population caused a large demand for housing development and many outlying villages and forests, of neccessity, became engulfed into the greater metropolitan area of Istanbul.

Considering such explosive growth the people of İstanbul have created a modern high-tech city that sits as a gateway between Europe and Asia and continues to display a uniquely Turkish and Ottoman culture. Old and new have come together to make Istanbul a most remarkable cosmopolitan city without losing the flavor of its centuries old history. Foreign visitors to İstanbul will find the city at times a bit overwhelming but will never forget its spectacular scenery overlooking the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara - and will delight in its rich history, architecture, and certainly the cuisine. İstanbuls Atatürk Airport and Sabiha Gökçen International Airport which is located on the Anatolian side of the city make arriving in İstanbul easy from Europe, Asia, the Middle-east, and North America. Flights from both of these airports will take you to numerous other exquisite locations in Turkey.
