1. The valley of life… Green wealth in the face of creeping cement alhudarealestate.wordpress.com/2020/03/25/the-valley-of-life-green-wealth-in-the-face-of-creeping- cement “We can launch high-rise projects and luxurious towers. It is true that they will look sophisticated and attractive, but they will remain an orphan if they do not marry with the greenness of nature …” Construction companies in Turkey have made this idea a base for them before launching in designing any real estate project. The interest in nature and its preservation has increased and has become a priority for Turkish construction engineers. Residential projects in Turkey have been experiencing a terrible increase in recent years, but it is interesting to note that none of them is devoid of green spaces that give construction aesthetic and elegance away from the expansion of cement only. And the size of the real estate projects, such as what we mentioned, has increased in turn, green projects that call for the need to preserve the environment and green spaces in populated areas. Among the most important of those projects that were launched, we find “Valley of Life” in Beylikduzu, west of Istanbul, which represents a natural revolution on the urban expansion projects in Istanbul, which has a population of more than 15 million people, according to the latest official statistics. The Valley of life: the promising green project The Green Valley or the valley of life project aims mainly to bring nature to the residents instead of the residents traveling long distances in search of woodland flats and gardens.
