Konya Metropolitan Municipality sets an example for Turkey with its efforts to protect the environment and human health.

Konya Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay reminded that they implemented the "Air Quality Improvement Project in Konya Historical City Center and Mevlana Region" in 2021 together with the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change within the scope of clean air studies, and said that in the first stage, social assistance coal was received in 4 neighborhoods. He said that they carried out natural gas conversion in 1.108 low-income houses.

Emphasizing that, as a metropolitan municipality, in the second stage of the project, they have completed the transformation of 263 more low-income houses receiving social support living in the city center, Mayor Altay said, “Thus, we have brought natural gas to 2021 families since 1.371, when the project started to be implemented. "We both provided support to our fellow citizens and achieved a 99 percent reduction in coal-related pollution in the regions where it was implemented," he said.

Stating that the third stage works of the project are continuing as planned, Mayor Altay said, “In this stage, we will hopefully provide natural gas conversion of 300 houses. "As the Metropolitan Municipality, our only goal is to leave a more livable, sustainable and clean Konya to our children," he said.
