An Istanbul earthquake at 8 Richter scale intensity could claim over 500,000 lives and create economic damage over 60 Billion as Istanbul constitutes 20% of total population and has 50% share in the Turkish Economy Catastrophic risk for Turkey
In Turkey 96% of the total surface area and 98% of the population are situated in zones of varying degrees of seismic risk 76% of industrial centers are located in earthquake prone areas Turkey has met nearly half of its housing need (55%) by unlicensed buildings and majority of the existing buildings is of substandard low quality nature A significant portion of the housing stock (40% of 19 million) of Turkey should be refitted, demolished in terms of age, quality & earthquake risk Need for a planned and well designed urban regeneration in PPP Many municipalities in Istanbul have initiated urban regeneration projects to rehabilitate unlicensed shanty town housing regions

• As of 2008 36% of total energy was consumed by households • Turkey amongst top 25 high enery consuming countries • Lack of government investment, financial support & appropriate incentive instruments (like tax & land rebates, cheap financing) for the property owner, businesses, developers and financial institutions for EE green buildings
•
• Weak Monitoring Mechanisms • Need incentives for securing retrofit •
•
financing through Green Loans Public awareness for green buildings is increasing as goverment utilty bill subsidies are reducing.
