Located on the Asian side of Istanbul along the Sea of Marmara, Kadıköy is one of the city’s most densely populated and active urban districts. Known for its residential neighbourhoods, cultural life and busy transport connections, Kadıköy combines historic waterfront areas with rapidly changing commercial and residential development. The district has a Mediterranean-influenced climate, with hot summers, mild winters and increasing exposure to heatwaves, intense rainfall and coastal flooding linked to climate change and urban density.
Climate action in Kadıköy is shaped by the pressures of metropolitan growth and everyday urban mobility. Heavy traffic, high energy use in buildings and limited open space create challenges for reducing emissions and adapting to rising temperatures. At the same time, the district’s dense population and active civil society have made climate and environmental issues highly visible in local policy discussions.
Key priorities include improving sustainable transport, expanding green and public spaces and increasing energy efficiency in buildings. Kadıköy has also focused on community participation and local awareness, supporting neighbourhood-level initiatives and more climate-conscious urban planning. Its approach stands out for combining practical adaptation measures with strong citizen engagement in one of the most urbanised parts of the wider Istanbul region.
