Photo-led city guide

A richer Istanbul surface from Bosphorus light to backstreet detail

The redesign shifts the site away from flat utility pages and toward an editorial atlas: large photography, tactile cards and concise live context.

Ferries, rail, buses and the map are designed as one premium planning flow, not disconnected pages.

District atlas

Every face of Istanbul, one card at a time

Popular starting points now read as a visual atlas: historic peninsula, Bosphorus villages, islands, Asian-side nightlife and Marmara coast.

Editorial depth

Built to cover the full site, not just the hero

The same visual system carries into transport, live dashboards, guides, AI planner, legal pages, 404 and generated district/neighbourhood articles.

Guides feel like a magazine

Generated district and neighbourhood pages inherit large photo headers, stronger article typography and image-backed guide cards.

Live data stays visible

One premium layer over the whole Istanbul product

Editorial discovery, live city data and AI planning now share a single photographic design language.

About

Made for a city that refuses to be flattened

Istanbul Hub focuses on one city: Istanbul. The redesign treats that focus seriously with full-bleed photography, live data, stronger editorial hierarchy and a shared system that reaches every page.

The City OS, district guides, live page, transport surface and AI planner now feel like parts of the same premium product rather than separate utilities.
