Turkey's earthquake reconstruction efforts highlighted by Russian media
The reconstruction efforts following the February 6, 2023, Kahramanmaraş earthquakes have gained international attention, notably featured by the Russian media outlet Komsomolskaya Pravda. The reporting highlights the scale of the mobilization coordinated by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, which includes infrastructure, schools, commercial areas, and the restoration of historical city centers.
Construction activities are reportedly spread across 3,481 sites in 174 different regions, involving approximately 200,000 architects, engineers, and construction workers. At peak periods, production speeds reached 23 units per hour, or 550 houses per day. Specific restoration projects are underway in Hatay, including the Historical Uzun Bazaar, Kurtuluş Avenue, the Historical Assembly Building, and structures along the Asi River, as well as in Malatya, Kahramanmaraş, and Adıyaman.
In addition to physical infrastructure, local officials are emphasizing the need for social investments in new neighborhoods. There are calls to integrate childcare services, such as affordable nurseries, safe school transportation, and pedestrian paths, into urban planning to support working families and women's economic participation in the post-earthquake recovery process.
