The report, "Whose Land? Whose Villages? The Vanishing Settlements of Istanbul’s Northern Forests" by Cihan Uzunçarşılı Baysal, focuses on the displacement of communities in Istanbul`s Northern Forests due to top-down mega-projects like the Third Airport and Canal Istanbul. The study documents the loss of ancestral lands, culture, and livelihoods in eight villages, highlighting the environmental and social impacts of rapid urbanization and development in rural areas, with particular emphasis on oral histories of the affected communities.
