While the migration from villages to cities, which started in the 1950s in Turkey, continues, especially the young population continues to concentrate in big cities. The increase in housing projects and vertical architecture, especially in big cities due to population mobility, has also changed the population data at the neighborhood scale. While more people started to live in a narrower area with vertical housing, statistics prepared with official data revealed Turkey’s most crowded neighborhoods.
In this context, Bağcılar District of Diyarbakır’s Bağlar district became the most crowded neighborhood in Turkey with a population of 151 thousand 459, while among the 10 most crowded neighborhoods across the country, there were 6 neighborhoods from Istanbul, 2 from Diyarbakır, and 1 each from Ankara and Kayseri.
