Street Interim Implementation Program
The Street Transformation Program, designed in cooperation with Superpool, Marmara Municipalities Union (MMU) and Global Designing Cities Initiative (GDCI) within the scope of Kent95 Programme supported by Van Leer Foundation, takes place in Istanbul, Bursa, Sakarya and Kocaeli.
Within the scope of Kent95 Programme supported by Van Leer Foundation and in cooperation with Superpool, Marmara Municipalities Union and Global Designing Cities Initiative launched the “Street Interim Implementation Program” was launched with the aim of transforming city streets into livable, child-friendly public spaces that prioritize the safety of children and their caregivers, and thus all pedestrians. In September 2023, 8 municipalities, with the support of stakeholders, successfully transformed streets dominated by motorized vehicles into public spaces that prioritize pedestrians, particularly children.
The program aimed to design urban space with a child- and pedestrian-centered approach by moving beyond motorized vehicle-oriented approaches to urban design; to take steps to make streets safe, healthy, and inclusive for children; and to strengthen the capacity of municipalities in pilot implementation processes.
● April 2022 Marmara Municipalities Union (MMU), Superpool, Global Designing Cities Initiative (GDCI), and Maltepe Municipality organized the Street Interim Implementation Learning Program. The interim implementation in Yalı Square designed by Superpool was shared with the participating municipalities on site.
● May 2022 MMU, Superpool, and GDCI designed a Practice-Based Learning Program and announced a specific open call for the training participants.
● October-November 2022 Street Interim Implementations designed by Superpool were realized in cooperation with Gebze and Malkara Municipalities selected as a result of the open call and with the support of MBB.
● March 2023 The second open call was made for the Practice-Based Learning Program, and the selected eight municipalities began working on their Interim Implementations after six months of theory and field training.
● September 2023 Within the scope of MARUF on the Go, Street Interim Implementations were held in eight locations in the Marmara Region.
