Now that's a city.
Orhan Pamuk once wrote something about Istanbul feeling cold and grey when he was growing up – it felt far from the imagined Mediterranean. I've seen photos and videos of Istanbul in the 50s and it did look pretty drab. Yet everything recent I've seen makes it look exuberantly colourful. What happened?
Those blocks of mass demolitions are pretty disheartening.
