Abstract:

On July 23, 1908, the members of the Alliance and the Terakki, who made the declaration of Legitimacy, wanted to control the country’s assurance, politics, financial administration, while aiming to save the country from destruction, on the one hand, with the inspiration they received from their western countries, they wanted to make their countries a merchant. For the Ottoman State, which has very wide territory, road and transport has been a major problem. This applies to the capital of Istanbul. Therefore, in accordance with the possibilities and the debts received, on the one hand the roads are attempted to be built, renewed or expanded, while on the other hand the fire is not stopped due to the wooden building system. The buildings are not limited to the roads and buildings, the gardens are built for the city to be beautiful, while the mosques, palaces, which are the symbol of the city, are also restored. In 1910 electricity came to Istanbul. While the war periods of activity decreased, the legitimacy rulers built the city as much as they could in this process.
