Soldier's funeral ceremony in Istanbul,1 June, 2017. Can Erok/Press Association. All rights reserved. About a decade ago nobody could tell where Istanbul started and ended. Now a decade later, metropolitan İstanbul is larger than ever. The population has reached 15 million. The metropolitan area is so big that it is now divided into about 40 municipalities. But no matter how large or crowded Istanbul becomes, the centralized government structure does not change. There is always a single governor.
With this type of centralized government structure, one would expect the governor to be extremely busy. In a metropolitan area with 15 million, the governor must be busy every minute of the day. And given the fact that Istanbul is an ever-expanding city, the governor must be thinking about the future of the city all the time.
A quick look at the governor’s official twitter account might help curious minds with the task of finding out what the governor is doing. The governor’s twitter account is being used on a daily basis. Most tweets come with a photograph. The governor seems to be busy. Let us examine his activities in June.
