The City Council of Aleppo and Turkey’s Şahinbey Municipality signed a cooperation protocol on Monday aimed at strengthening joint work, improving public services, and exchanging expertise to advance the local administration system.
The agreement was signed by Talal Al-Jabri, head of Aleppo’s City Council, and Mehmet Tahmazoğlu, mayor of Şahinbey district in Gaziantep Province, in the presence of Aleppo Governor Azzam Al-Gharib. The protocol is part of Aleppo Governorate’s efforts to activate the city’s broader participatory planning vision, establishing a technical partnership designed to transfer successful practices and apply them in ways that benefit the city and its residents.
Future cooperation under the protocol will cover key sectors central to public services and urban development, including waste management and environmental sanitation, improving traffic engineering and transportation systems, and expanding the development and rehabilitation of public parks and green spaces.
The protocol also highlights collaboration in urban planning and urban transformation, as well as mechanisms for developing real estate management and evaluating municipal assets to enhance resources and support sustainable development across the city.
