Summary: Earthquakes always find the weakest point. The city of Istanbul consists of tens of
thousands of buildings and its population has soared over 10 million from the 1 million it was just 50 years ago. Istanbul stands out among threatened cities in developing countries because it is trying to get ahead of the risk.
Response: It is not good that this city developed so rapidly. When an earthquake hits its going to target the weak points which is where the buildings are, and the city is going to be destroyed.
