Environmental and urban quality concerns in Eskişehir

Overview

Environmental and urban quality of life concerns have emerged in Eskişehir. Local advocates are pushing for climate resilience through the ‘Green Schools’ initiative, which proposes rainwater harvesting and ecological education to combat the climate crisis. Simultaneously, there is opposition to the Esence Gold-Silver Mine and Crushing-Sieving Plant Project in the Alpu Plain due to potential threats to the Porsuk River basin and agricultural lands.

In addition to rural and educational environmental concerns, residents are calling for the relocation of industrial facilities from the city center. Advocates argue that central sites, such as the Sugar Factory and TÜRASAŞ facilities, contribute to significant odor, noise, air, and traffic pollution, impacting the health and quality of life for local citizens.
