Maltepe building collapse and reconstruction efforts

Overview

Following the partial collapse of a seven-story building in the Cevizli neighborhood of Maltepe, Istanbul, on October 8, the Turkish government has announced relief and reconstruction measures. The incident resulted in five deaths and multiple injuries.

Istanbul Governor Davut Gül stated that approximately 9 million TL will be allocated through AFAD and the Governor’s Office to address the urgent needs of affected citizens. To manage long-term housing, Deputy Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Ömer Bulut announced that TOKİ will implement an urban transformation project. Residents have been offered three options: the ‘Yarısı Bizden’ (Half is from Us) support program, a TOKİ-planned transformation under Ministry supervision, or ready-made urban transformation housing.

As a precaution, five surrounding buildings have been evacuated. Authorities plan to conduct risk assessments and core sampling to determine the scope of reconstruction efforts.
