... that Hasanpaşa Gasworks(pictured) survived its demolition through resistence of the residents, became a festival venue for some time and was finally transformed into a museum after redevelopment? Source: "Ancak, mahalle sakinlerinin çabasıyla yıkım durdurulur. " (in Turkish)[1], "Kadıköy Belediyesi, Çevre Haftası kutlamaları kapsamında 4.Gazhane Şenliğini gerçekleştiriyor.1 (in Turkish)[2], "Gazhane’de İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi (İBB) tarafından 2015 yılında başlatılan restorasyon çalışmaları, yeni dönemde tamamlandı." (in Turkish)[3], "Hasanpaşa Gazhanesi; yılların emektarı olarak ranta kurban gitmekten mahalle gönüllülerinin, mimarların ve belediyenin direnmesiyle kurtulup sanat kültür merkezi olarak küllerinden doğdu. Orası artık Müze Gazhane!" (in Turkish)[4]
Overall: I'm assuming good faith on the foreign language sources but my machine-translated look didn't turn up any issues. Really interesting article and hook, which lays out some good backstory and piqued my interest to read the entire thing. I'm always surprised at how recent the Ottoman Empire was! The picture is good as well. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/they)Talk to Me!03:42, 10 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
