Malatya Metropolitan Municipality is executing various reconstruction and revitalization programs following the February 6 earthquakes. Initial efforts focused on a 4 billion TL investment in sports and cultural infrastructure. This program includes the construction of approximately 43 sports facilities, 13 libraries, and several major complexes featuring swimming pools and basketball or volleyball halls. Long-term goals involve a 350-decare ‘Sports Village’ and a large-scale recreation zone. The municipality has also prioritized professional training for emergency services, such as the local fire department. Subsequent developments expanded these recovery efforts into urban transformation projects. Mayor Sami Er announced that the municipality will take direct responsibility for transforming the Beylerbaşı, Şehit Fevzi, and Taştepe neighborhoods, particularly in areas not designated as official reserve zones. These efforts include residential reconstruction, the development of social facilities, and the redevelopment of industrial sites. sites, such as the Çavuşoğlu Industrial Site. To date, 125,000 independent housing units and workplaces have been built in the region. Recent strategic planning aims to transition Malatya from a single-center city into a modern, multi-center urban area. This approach seeks to establish new residential and commercial hubs to reduce socio-economic segregation and mitigate the impact of damage sustained by the old bazaar center. The strategy emphasizes preserving the city’s demographic and social fabric, allowing citizens to remain within their established neighborhoods while revitalizing industrial areas and enhancing urban infrastructure.
