“Agriculture and livestock are the bleeding wound of Bursa. Our businesses encounter loss-making results in agricultural activities. Unfortunately, we could not reach the support rate specified in our Agricultural Law. Our farmers still have a large amount of receivables from the state. Import-based inputs arising from the increase in the exchange rate seriously challenge agriculture and animal husbandry. We need to put forward policies that will reduce the costs of our producers in agriculture. We are faced with a huge wave of migration from rural to urban areas. This situation causes the population living in the city to grow uncontrollably and also brings with it infrastructure problems. In addition, problems such as inadequate housing stock, traffic and air pollution also arise. We can say that the Metropolitan law also had an impact on the development of the table in this way.

Projects should be developed by making separate plans for each title. Providing internet infrastructure is very important for young people to stay in rural areas. You cannot keep any of our young people, our citizens engaged in trade and agriculture in rural neighborhoods where there is no internet. We have many beautiful villages in terms of historical and natural riches. To evaluate the tourism potential in these villages ECO-VILLAGE by developing projects Historical and Authentic Villages We should open it to tourism under the headings. "Although we have a deep-rooted cooperative culture, unfortunately we could not manage it properly."

CITY DATA CENTER

“Bursa has no data. City Data Center It is an application that exists all over the world and our metropolitan cities should also use it. Development, environment, transportation, health, education etc. Data should be collected on every subject and policies should be produced based on the data obtained here. On the other hand, the main reason for the traffic problem in Bursa is that the city has an east-west axis settlement. However, when we turn Bursa into a polycentric city, the problem will be solved automatically.”
“AIR POLLUTION IS RAISING ALARM IN BURSA”
Stating that air pollution is a big problem in Bursa, Sedat Yalçın pointed out that the work to be done to solve the problem should be the common goal of Bursa;

A qualified transformation compatible with the Green City Concept, built on the Resilient City concept, will be our priority. We do not consider urban transformation only as construction, but also as a socio-cultural development move. Therefore, we will not only build housing, we will build social living spaces for every citizen living in the city.” said.
