Trabzon breaks ground on Uzunkum Living Area Project

The groundbreaking ceremony for the Uzunkum Living Area Project, formerly known as the Gülcemal Project, has taken place in the Beşirli coastal area of Trabzon. The project aims to transform a 750-decare area into a new social living space with comprehensive coastal arrangements and social facilities.

Trabzon Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ahmet Metin Genç announced that the construction period is set for 461 days, meaning the area is expected to be open to the public in approximately one and a half years. The first phase, which includes the reorganization of about one kilometer of the coastline, is targeted for completion within roughly one year.

The ceremony was attended by Minister of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change Murat Kurum. Due to the event, the Trabzon Metropolitan Municipality Council meeting schedule was adjusted, starting one hour later than usual to allow members to attend the groundbreaking.
