Istanbul is a city of two continents where millions of people depend daily on buses, metro, trams, and ferries. Transfer hubs are vital for connecting these modes, but many of them remain purely functional spaces with long walking distances, limited accessibility for elderly and disabled citizens, and little cultural or social value. These conditions reduce the attractiveness of public transport compared to private cars. The challenge is to transform transfer hubs into vibrant, accessible, and inclusive micro urban spaces that not only support efficient mobility but also enrich citizens’ daily lives through comfort, safety, and cultural engagement.
