Data and Urban95 in Türkiye: Covid-19 and Urban Resilience

The social and economic impacts of Covid-19 on urban life showed the importance of good data for urban resilience. This brief looks at how the Istanbul municipalities of Sultanbeyli and Maltepe drew on their experiences using data in the Urban95 programme to inform nine aspects of their pandemic response, from personnel management to social support and awareness raising. Available in Turkish below.

At the beginning of the pandemic process, many cities endeavoured to minimise the possible negative effects of the crisis by developing ad hoc crisis management strategies in response to the emergent conditions and needs.

This publication is part of a collection on data and Urban95 in Türkiye, produced together with the Turkish Economic and Social Studies Foundation (TESEV).
