“Water in Istanbul and Beyond: Past, Present, and Future”
"Water in Istanbul and Beyond: Past, Present, and Future" international symposium that we organized was on March 14, 2023. Dr. Çiğdem Özkan Aygün was a co-applicant on the international project on behalf of ITU and she managed the interdisciplinary research project titled “Water in Istanbul: Rising to the Challenge?”, which began in 2021. The main supporters for this research are the British Academy- Knowledge Frontiers International Interdisciplinary Research Scheme and the research brings together archaeologists, engineers and historians from the University of Edinburg, Northumbria University and Istanbul Technical University. The aim of the project is to investigate water management infrastructure in Istanbul and to see how past practices can provide solutions to current problems.
