This statistic shows the ten biggest cities in Turkey in 2021. At the end of 2021, approximately 15.2 million people lived in Istanbul, making it the biggest city in Turkey.

The urban population of Turkey

The total population of Turkey is on its way to reaching 80 million inhabitants, which is about the same amouint as the population of Germany. Slightly more than half of the Turkish population live in urban areas, with Istanbul being home to the largest portion of this urban population with close to 14 million inhabitants. This is about 20 percent of the entire population.

Istanbul is located at the entrance to the Black Sea, between Europe and Asia. It is attractive to both the people of Turkey as a place to live and work and foreign tourists who take advantage of its cultural and historic center. Due to its attractiveness and its location at the crossroads of the east and the west, the city has been investing in transportation infrastructure to support its strategic location and increasing growth.

Ankara, the capital of Turkey, is the second largest city and home to about 4.5 million people. Izmir is the third largest, with almost 3 million inhabitants. A vast amount of the country’s population is located in these three metropolises.

In 2024, the major city of Istanbul had almost **** million inhabitants and was the province with the highest population in Turkey. The Turkish capital, Ankara, was the second-largest province, with **** million people residing there in the same year. Characteristics of the Turkish population The population of Turkey has been following a continuously increasing trend for a long time. As of 2024, there were approximately **** million people living in the country. That year, the male population was slightly higher than the female population, amounting to over **** million. When it comes to the gender distribution among the age groups, the gender gap was the highest among the 90-year-olds and older. In 2024, women constituted ** percent of that age group, whereas the share of men was slightly higher among 0-to-59-year-olds. Structure of Turkish households The demand for living alone has been increasing in many communities. The case is not much different in Turkey, where the proportion of single households has been on the rise steadily. The share of households with one person peaked in 2024 at nearly ** percent in the country. However, one-family households still registered the highest number of residents as of 2024, with roughly **** million. In comparison, one-person households counted *** million individuals.

Context

This is a dataset consisting of landmark locations of Turkey, from 3 largest cities; Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir.

This dataset is created for the purpose of a project for machine learning class. We wanted to build a large dataset which will be used for long time, that is why pictures are not just small pictures. The program we used for classifying images can be found on my github.

Content

This data is split in test and train data. %80 of images is split for training, and the rest is for testing. The file is structured like;

-Location1 |img1.jpg |asdfghg.jpg |xxdgs.jpg -Location2 |more.jpg |pictures.jpg |with_random_names.jpg . . .

The data was collected from flickr, google images, and google places. Google places was a little bit stingy about sharing its data, so we had to find a way around. Most of the scripts which have been used for scrapping the data can be found at my github profile.

Another think to remember is the noise leftover even after so many cleaning process. Sorry for that.

Residential Real Estate In Turkey Market size was valued at USD 64.32 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 98.63 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2026 to 2032.

Key Market Drivers:

Rising Demand for Housing Due to Urbanization: The rising urbanization in Turkey is one of the primary drivers of the residential real estate market. According to a 2023 report by Turkey’s Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change, over 75% of the population now lives in urban areas, contributing to a strong demand for housing. Major cities like Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir are experiencing high population growth, pushing the demand for residential real estate. Companies like Emlak Konut are responding with large-scale development projects to meet this growing need for urban housing.

The retail sector, especially in high-traffic areas of major cities, is poised for continued expansion as consumer spending increases. The logistics segment is expected to witness high growth rates fueled by the rising e-commerce sector and improved infrastructure. The hospitality sector will likely benefit from the sustained growth in tourism. While the multi-family residential segment shows solid growth, it might be influenced by factors such as interest rates and government regulations. Monitoring macroeconomic indicators and potential regulatory shifts will be crucial for accurate market prediction in the upcoming years. Overall, the Turkish commercial real estate market presents a blend of opportunities and challenges, requiring strategic planning and risk management to capitalize on its growth potential. Recent developments include: October 2021: Stolthaven Terminals and Rönesans Holding have signed a partnership agreement to jointly develop a new greenfield terminal in Ceyhan, Adana, Turkey, providing storage and handling services to the Ceyhan Petrochemical Industrial Zone, which is being developed by Rönesans Holding., July 2021: Turkey Government has signed a contract with with Calık Holding for the construction of 2 new cutting-edge gas turbines for the Oil Refinery Complex in Turkmenbashi and reconstruction of the power plant.

Turkey is located on the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt, which have high geothermal potential. The first geothermal researches and investigations in Turkey started by MTA in 1960s. Upon this, 170 geothermal fields have been discovered by MTA, where 95% of them are low-medium enthalpy fields, which are suitable mostly for direct-use applications. Around 1500 hot and mineralised natural springs and wells exist in Turkey. With the existing geothermal wells discharge water (2693 MWt) and springs (600 MWt), the proven geothermal capacity calculated by MTA is totally 3293 MWt (exhaust temperature is assumed to be 35 C). The geothermal potential is estimated as 31,500 MWt (5,000,000 residences equivalence). Most of the development is achieved in geothermal direct-use applications by 65,000 residences equivalence geothermal heating (750 MWt) including district heating, thermal facilities and 635,000 m2 geothermal greenhouse heating. Main cities heated by geothermal energy as Izmir-Balcova, Narlidere, Afyon and Kirsehir City centers, Afyon-Sandikli, Kutahya- Simav,Ankara-Kizilcahamam, Kali-kesir-Gonen, Nevsehir Kozakli, ManisaSalihli, Agri-Diyadin, Denizli- Saraykoy and Balikesir-Edremit. 195 spas in Turkey are used for balneological purposes (327 MWt). Engineering design of about 300,000 residences equivalence geothermal district heating has been completed. By summing up all this geothermal utilisations in Turkey, the installed capacity is 1077 MWt for direct use and 20.4 MWe for power production in Turkey, where a liquid carbon dioxide and dry ice production factory is integrated to this power plant.
