nonaccessible urban area (Kadıkoy)

nonaccessible urban area in Kadıköy
Most of the old urban neighbourhoods of İstanbul happen to have one thing in common: They are all urban blocks with courtyards just like the ones in most European cities. But they differ from the most similar structured cities of Europe by one specific point: almost all are nonaccessible to public use.
The aim of this particular remapping task is to present these nonaccesible urban areas of İstanbul which eliminate the possibility of a more diverse use of the built environment and its surroundings.
The route I have taken for the previous remapping task was to point out the city lights at night and their layout. That route is also shown in this map too in order to underline the fact that the night lights within these non-accessible areas cannot be mapped as they do not even mean much as long as these areas are not in public use.
