Ethnic And Cultural Diversity A Global Scale, Asia Minor...

Two-Halves On a global scale, Asia Minor (the Eastern Half) has supported human agglomerations since the ancient times. Migration to Europe (the Western Half) by land (as the primary means of migration) would have to be around the Black Sea and the north being too cold, a route through Istanbul became a natural choice. Istanbul as a fortress-city was established in the 6th century B.C. on the Thracian side (another name for Western region). The city gained in expanse to both sides as trade through water in region grew. Initial migrants from Anatolia (another name for Eastern region) agglomerated in a segregated pattern. As the population grew, urban functions became derivatives of these patterns. Both halves have had a history of ethnic and cultural diversity due to the variety of regions from where the migrants came from. The grain of this diversity has been finer more at a regional scale as compared to a neighborhood scale. This could be due a sense of social security, if not a social support structure, within their own mono-ethnic neighborhood. As in the case of trade, the diversity in the region also increased with increase in watercraft usage. Bosphorus The two halves make up only one half of the urban story in Istanbul. The other half is Bosphorus strait, a 30 km long water stream that divides the city into two equals, qualitatively and quantitatively. The urban growth of the city can be mapped as the response of the human settlement on it banks to thisShow MoreRelatedOne Significant Change That Has Occurred in the World Between 1900 and 2005.
