Starting out with the motto “To live in a better country, in better cities,” the 7th International Municipality and Environment Fair, CITYTECH 2013, concluded as a comprehensive organization that expanded the vision of local governments. Modern infrastructure solutions, machinery, and equipment needed by local governments in Turkey during the European Union harmonization process were showcased at this fair. Beyond being just a product exhibition area, the organization served as a strategic platform bringing together municipalities facing administrative and financial bottlenecks with private sector representatives providing solutions.
Environmental Technologies and Recycling Vision
One of the most striking pillars of the organization was the environmental and recycling technologies addressed within the scope of RECYCLE 2013. Projects of vital importance for the protection of ecological balance and the sustainability of urban life were detailed at the fair. The recycling industry, defined as one of the most important industrial branches of the next century, had the chance to establish direct contact with the public and local administrators. In particular, technological tools, devices, and equipment aimed at protecting the environment, which constitute the agenda of heavy industry and local administrations, were met with intense interest by sector professionals.
Local Administrations Summit and Global Collaborations
The 7th International Local Administrations Summit, held simultaneously with the fair, hosted numerous local government units from both domestic and international arenas. This summit offered a prestigious environment where culture and experience were shared, and administrative activities were introduced. Foundations for collaborations were laid in areas such as joint project development and technology exchange. This massive network, representing thousands of municipalities, provincial special administrations, and local government unions across the country, found the opportunity to discuss the problems encountered and integrate them with the solutions at the CITYTECH and RECYCLE fairs.
