Konya Metropolitan Mayor Uğur Ibrahim Altay met with students from the Faculty of Architecture at Konya Technical University (KTUN) as part of the "University Meetings" organized by the Metropolitan Municipality Youth Council.
Speaking at the event held in the KTUN Conference Hall, KTUN Rector Prof. Dr. Osman Nuri Çelik highlighted that they have a significant history and scientific expertise compared to the national average, and he expressed his gratitude to Mayor Altay for his support.
Uğur İbrahim Altay began his speech by stating that they are studying at one of the most beautiful universities in Anatolia. He said, "We are working diligently with our esteemed rector to ensure that you have access to a new campus with much better physical facilities."
Mayor Altay stated, "Especially those coming from other cities should know this well. Konya is one of the rare settlements in the world where urban life has continued for nearly 10,000 years. The life that began with Çatalhöyük has continued uninterrupted to this day. Some places in the world are either newly established or, despite being very valuable in the past, have lost their significance over time. Today, Konya is the sixth-largest city in Turkey by population. It has nearly 120,000 university students and is one of our beautiful cities that reflect the traces of its ancient civilization."
In the continuation of his speech, Mayor Altay mentioned the youth activities of the Konya Metropolitan Municipality, encouraging young people to benefit from youth and student services by applying to the Capsule Technology Platform, the Social Innovation Agency, and the Young Culture Card.
At the end of the program, Mayor Altay engaged in a conversation with the students and answered their questions.
