Deprivation of natural habitats; effects such as air, water and soil pollution and heat island transform cities into settlements that gradually lose their natural qualities. These impacts not only reduce the quality of human life, but also cause irreversible consequences on biological diversity. One of the tools to reduce the effects of the environmental adverse effects of urbanization is to increase the presence of open and green spaces in cities. Sustainable landscape studies to be carried out for open and green areas contribute to the urban aesthetics and provide space for recreational activities as well as minimizing the environmental pollution impacts by reducing carbon dioxide and heat generation. Sustainability of the existence of open and green spaces in cities is not only the responsibility of local governments but also the institutions and every individual of the society. Istanbul Gelişim University, which sets out with this awareness, carries out various studies in order to bring sustainable natural qualities to our city and to offer our students a green campus and a breathable environment. This report provides a summary of the landscape work carried out at Istanbul Gelişim University Assist.
