Located within one of Istanbul’s high risk seismic zones, the Maltepe Masterplan is conceived as a resilient urban framework that integrates safety, sustainability, and high living standards into a cohesive development strategy. The project introduces a layered urban fabric where residential zones are designed with enhanced seismic performance, prioritizing both structural integrity and long term inhabitability.

Open-air commercial axes activate the ground level and foster a lively urban atmosphere, while energy efficient office spaces support environmentally conscious work practices. Public amenities and social spaces are strategically distributed to encourage community engagement and daily well-being.

Generous green areas form a continuous ecological spine throughout the site, supporting biodiversity and urban comfort. Maltepe Masterplan exemplifies a future ready urban district one that balances risk preparedness with the spatial and experiential qualities of a livable city.
