Sultangazi, Administrative district in northern Istanbul, Turkey
Description
Sultangazi is an administrative district in northern Istanbul that lies between the TEM highway and Alibey Dam. The area incorporates multiple residential neighborhoods and serves as part of the city's expanding urban landscape.
History
The district was created in 2008 through consolidation of areas from three neighboring districts: Gaziosmanpaşa, Eyüpsultan, and Esenler. This administrative reorganization reflected the growing needs of the northern urban region.
Culture
The district maintains multiple cultural centers, including Aşık Veysel and Nene Hatun, which provide educational programs and artistic activities for residents.
