That can show us **seaborne trade and water transportation is important** for this city. İstanbul is a bridge between Europe and Asia and only acess to Blacksea is Bosphorus. That makes İstanbul a very important trade center. Also people are using water transportation a lot beacuse people usally live in Anatolian side of İstanbul but working in European side. **2.** There are skyscrapers in back ground and we can see that bridge has a modern style. That can show us **city is in modernization progress**. İstanbul is a very colourful city when it comes to architecture. Again because it is between two continents, it makes İstanbul be effected from various cultures. But in last decades İstanbul got into modernization progress because **İstanbul got recognized more with being a metropolis than a trouist attraction in last decades.** - When planning the city like İstanbul acknowledging the importance of water transportation and sea trade is imporrtant in order to give citizens good service. For example building more bridges or undersea tunnels can lower the load on sea traffic and can provide citizens transportstion alternatives.
