Proposed New City of Istanbul Premiers in Animated Video

"Proposed New City of Istanbul Premiers in Animated Video

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 9 (AScribe Newswire) -- Istanbul is at such high risk for a devastating earthquake that engineers at Purdue University and the Republic of Turkey have come up with a bold new proposal: build a second city.

A second, satellite city would provide immediate refuge to inhabitants of the old city in the event of a catastrophic earthquake and soften such an event's effects on the nation's economy.

Purdue researchers have created a 3-D fly-through animation showing what the proposed new city would look like. The five-minute animation was produced using new technology developed by the Office of Information Technology at Purdue."
