Aktaş: “We Need to Do Quality Work”

Speaking at the opening of the meeting held with the participation of BUSİAD members, BUSİAD Chairman Buğra Küçükkayalar thanked BUSİAD for its interest in the "Bursa Developing with Industry, Agriculture and Tourism" vision study. Küçükkayalar said, “As BUSİAD family, we are ready to contribute to the reflection of this work on the Bursa Environmental Plan. "We will start to go into the details of this vision work in the coming period," he said.

Bursa Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Aktaş said, “I would like to thank the BUSİAD Family. BUSİAD is more sensitive, environmentally friendly and your contacts regarding issues that concern the society are valuable. He started his speech by saying, "The award I received from you, especially for simple municipalism, was meaningful to me." Aktaş continued his words as follows:

“Bursa has very important accumulations over the years. Municipality cannot be achieved by sweeping problems under the carpet. Something needs to be done. We could not come up with 1/100000, which is the constitution of this matter, which I see as incomplete and hurts me.

Everyone says Bursa is a green city, everyone says Bursa is a city of history, but there is no unity in achieving this. Everyone has a different perspective.

But the city's 50-year and 100-year problems also concern you. I did not establish this many organized industrial zones. I'm not saying this to get the ball rolling. Even if there were not so many industrial zones, Bursa would not be Bursa.

If we all together, with non-governmental organizations, political parties, other institutions and organizations, update the event, put the road map correctly, and feel a common excitement in this direction, without making politics out of it, we will reach the goal much faster and take more correct steps. I believe.

It was more than 400 years ago when it was said, "In short, Bursa is just water." That Bursa no longer exists.

“QUALIFIED WORKS…”

It's about growing healthier from now on. But we have to speak the truth. How industry? Let's have factories like TOGG. We need to do qualified, value-added work. One of the projects that excites me the most is the SMEs in the city. One of the first things I will do is mark the location at 1/100000. Let Bursa be a livable and enjoyable city.

I have never opened an industrial zone. Some people judge me for this. I'm not bragging about this. I'm talking about qualified industry, value-added industry, UAVs, UCAVs, automotive. We need to polish tourism. This cannot be achieved entirely by building factories, subcontracting, and producing plenty of workers. ”

NEW GENERATION MUNICIPALITY…

Stating that municipality will be based on two basic elements, Aktaş said, “In the new generation municipalism, the first thing that should not be forgotten is the fact of resilient cities, healthy cities, urban transformation and earthquakes.

Another issue is the reality of climate change. We now have to act according to this fact while producing and managing our lives. I want Nilüfer Creek to flow brightly. At the Eastern wastewater treatment plant, sparkling water flows and fish play, but on the other hand, strange chemicals are mixed. "We need to take the necessary steps regarding this," he said.

100 THOUSAND HOUSES…

Aktaş, who gave a special place to urban transformation in his speech, said:

“Urban transformation is a difficult task in municipality. The most important motto of the new era is definitely urban transformation. We will transform 100 thousand residences. We will also produce 16 thousand social housing.

We cannot do these things without demolishing them. We showed the trailer of this work this term. We will show the real work this term.

We are buying an apartment on Darmstad Street, Altıparmak. We want to transform it. "It is an essential problem in the new era."

ÇINARCIK DAM…

Stating that one of the biggest projects in the coming period will be to bring water from Çınarcık Dam to Bursa, Aktaş said, "Just as there were projects that brought mercy to the past presidents, the project that will hopefully bring mercy to us is the 68-kilometer transmission line of drinking water from Çınarcık Dam to Bursa." We bring. An investment of 127 million euros. The biggest investment in Bursa. About 70 percent more water of the city's water reserves will come to the city. "We can easily see 2060 with this water," he said.
