28th session of the World Heritage
Committee Historic Areas of Istanbul (Turkey)
Document WHC-04/28.COM/15B 28 COM 15B.80 The
World Heritage Committee, Noting with
appreciation the conservation efforts made by the
national authorities and the Istanbul
municipality as presented in the report
submitted by the State Party, notably in
establishing a World Heritage Unit within the
Ministry of Culture and Tourism and an office in
Istanbul for project coordination and monitoring,
and the allocation of additional funds for the
protection and conservation of the Historic Areas
of Istanbul and the completion of the draft
1/5000 scale Urban Conservation and Development
Plan by the Istanbul Municipality currently being
studied by the Board for Protection of Cultural
Property Further noting, the recommendations of
the UNESCO expert team regarding the importance
of carrying out the preventive archaeology
operation and planning for new urban projects in
areas to be affected by the Marmaray Rail and
Bosphorus Tunnel project Expressing appreciation
for the launch of the public awareness raising
campaign by the Turkish Timber Association and
other NGOs for the protection and enhancement of
the timber civil architecture of Istanbul that
forms part of the World Heritage value of the
property, and for the progress being made in the
EU-funded urban rehabilitation project in Balat
and Fener of Fatih District Bearing in mind the
delays in the adoption of the Urban Conservation
and Development Plan and the absence since 1996
of urban regulations, Requests the following
actions from the State Party urgent completion
and enforcement of the Urban Conservation and
Development Plan, strengthening of the Istanbul
Board of Protection of Cultural Property and the
special project design and monitoring unit to
ensure compliance with the conservation
plan, develop a more proactive urban management
plan to maximize the opportunities presented by
major urban infrastructure projects such as the
Maramary Bosphorus Rail Tunnel to carry out
archaeological surveys and develop the urban
archaeological itineraries and new urban
projects, greater national and local authority
participation in the on-going EU-funded urban
conservation and renewal project, especially by
honouring the pledge made by the government
social housing development agency (TOKI), to
co-finance part of the project, hence paving the
way for government subsidies to protected
privately-owned listed buildings, greater care in
the conservation techniques applied in the
consolidation of the Theodosian Walls in order
not to undermine any further the
authenticity Decides to defer consideration of
the eventual inscription of the property on the
List of World Heritage in Danger until 2006,
hence allowing time for the new dispositions
taken by the national and municipal authorities
to become effective. Further requests the State
Party to submit, by 1 February 2005, a report on
the progress achieved in the implementation of
the above-mentioned recommendations for
examination by the Committee at its 29th session
in 2005.
