What kind of benefits will the crazy project Kanal İstanbul of President Erdogan's 'dream', add to İstanbul and Türkiye in particular? What was left behind in preparation of the final Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report prepared for the Kanal İstanbul project, prepared by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, what was the most debated topic of the recent period? What is in the details of this project? Speaking in a live broadcast of A Haber, City Management Expert. Dr. Recep Bozdoğan stated the last situation and told all the details about the process about Kanal İstanbul.

Kanal İstanbul, especially tried to be denied by a great effort of the hostiles of Turkey, and many misleading spreading false news about the public informed. Does Kanal İstanbul have any risk as claimed for İstanbul city? Why is Kanal İstanbul important? What will İstanbul and Turkey earn from this project?

City Management Specialist Dr. Recep Bozdoğan told about unknowns about Kanal İstanbul in a live broadcast. Here are those remarks:

"OBJECTIONS ARE PURELY POLITICAL!"

I do not think that Kanal İstanbul will harm İstanbul as claimed. People who object to Kanal İstanbul are politically and ideologically challenged. Then they try to justify it by themselves. Of course, some scientists have important warnings. These must also be taken into consideration. However, numerous scientists have been involved in the feasibility studies of Kanal İstanbul and in the preparation of the EIA Report. Numerous scientists and experts from METU, Boğaziçi, ITU and many other universities have taken part.

"WILL DISTRIBUTE THE DENSITY OF THE CITY"

What kind of benefit will Kanal İstanbul have for İstanbul? In my opinion, the biggest benefit is that İstanbul is a "cross-country" city. There is a socioeconomic life with a population of over 15 million and revolving around several centers. Kanal İstanbul will decentralize the city. So it will shift the concentration in the center towards the west of the city. This is important because there is an abnormal density in the center.

CRITICAL FOR DEFENSE!

Secondly, it will provide an extraordinary advantage for the defense of the city. Because any military unit crosses the plains of Thrace, İstanbul is in front of them. However, there are no geographical obstacles in front of İstanbul that will make it easier to defend İstanbul. Kanal İstanbul, with a width of approximately 400 meters there will create a serious defense position

IT WILL SAVE ISTANBUL FROM THE TANKER THREATS!

Another point is that the Bosporus and İstanbul are under serious threat, especially due to the passage of tankers loaded with oil, natural gas

and tankers loaded with chemicals. This threat will also diminish over time and will disappear after a while.

WILL PROVIDE LIVING SPACE TO ISTANBUL!

Another issue will be a significant increase in the quality of life of the city, per capita green area, social, cultural and artistic facilities, as it will provide İstanbul with highly planned and beautiful landscaped landscapes.
