This
report is based on an interview survey conducted to obtain feedback from 40 entrepreneurs in the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul.
Beyoğlu, is one
of the most distinctive residential and recreational areas in the historical
centre of Istanbul, and is the most
diversified area in the city. It has been one of the cores
of commercial and service activities since the beginning of 19th century,
throughout which it served also as a centre of recreation and specialised
commercial activities (Tekeli, 2013). In 1863, Osmanlı Bank (the main bank of the
Ottoman Empire) was relocated to Beyoğlu, attracting other financial
institutions to the district, most predominantly to Bankacılar Street (Bankers’
Street). In this period new arcades (passages) were built to host the new
commercial and service activities, in addition to restaurants and cafes.
