This project aims to design a segment of Ayamama River’s between Halkali and Cobancesme intersections in order to meet the city’s hydrological, ecological and recreational needs. 2000m long segment is designed to provide water safety while providing walking and bicycling paths, viewing terraces, sitting and resting areas hence enabling active use of the river corridor by urbanites. Currently, there exist mainly industrial and commercial uses along the corridor, in this highly concrete zone 60000 square meters green corridor will provide a breathing space. Subsequently, Ayamama will service to flora and fauna, provide a healthy and livable urban corridor. In line with the modern city image, Ayamama will welcome young, old, children and all segments of society. Moreover, Ayamama promotes barrier-free design principles to be more inclusive.
