Investments made in Istanbul within the scope of the ‘150 Projects in 150 Days’ marathon initiated by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) were accelerated. In this context, the opening of the new service building built by ISKI with an investment of 35 million TL in Çatalca was held yesterday.
The opening of the new ISKI service building, which will serve approximately 75 thousand people, was held in an enthusiastic atmosphere with the participation of IMM Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, Republican People’s party (CHP) Istanbul Deputy Gülizar Emecan, Büyükçekmece Mayor Hasan Akgün and ISKI General Manager Şafak Başa.
Speaking at the opening program, IMM Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu pointed out that Istanbul is a city that competes with time and said, “For the solution of these problems in Istanbul, the possibilities must be used quickly. Managing Istanbul is only possible with a high energy. For the last 3 years, we have been building Istanbul with a new perspective, a new management approach, and be sure that I would like to underline that we are managing Istanbul with the spiritual strength and great energy we have received from you. We are focused on producing faster work and getting faster results with all our units.”
“WE MASTERED A NEW MANAGEMENT APPROACH AT IMM”
Noting that the ‘150 Projects in 150 Days’ marathon is an example for this work, Ekrem İmamoğlu added, “We will continue to exceed 150 projects in the next 150 days. Because now we have dominated a new management approach in IMM. What is this? A management approach that is free from waste, discrimination and nepotism. It is not ‘I am in power, whatever I say happens’; which makes common mind tables dominate in order to do smart, planned and fast work... It is not a mayor who comes to Çatalca and says 'Çatalca Municipality is not from our party' and does not pass by his door. He became a metropolitan mayor who spoke first to Çatalca mayor to solve Çatalca’s problems.”
