Abstract
This visual essay presents the urban renewal, improvement, and design project of the Nicosia Turkish Municipality bus terminal area in Nicosia Central Business District (CBD) as a new mixed-use complex and a public space. After a thorough analysis and evaluation, the project aims to transform the area into a sustainable and liveable place. The study is project-based, relatively micro-scale, ‘planned urban renewal process’ led and publicly structured and aims at environmental, spatial, social, and economic-based urban improvement and development. The project area under study, with the existing intercity bus terminal building, the Municipal Theater building, the Municipality Building, and the parking lot in front of it, is a public area that should be evaluated within the scope of urban renewal and should be improved and developed through a strategic urban planning and design approach, to provide the citizens of Nicosia, sustainable, healthy, resilient, and inclusive public spaces.
