This new digital biometric system will enhance border security and streamline processes by recording travelers’ personal and biometric data. The EES aims to resolve inefficiencies and reliability issues in tracking entries, exits, and visa overstays. Alongside the EES, visa-exempt travelers will also need to obtain travel authorization through the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS), which will be phased in following the EES implementation. Until these systems are fully operational, manual passport stamping will continue, including for UK citizens post-Brexit, upon entering or leaving the Schengen Zone.</p><hr fr-original-style="" style="height: 0px; overflow: visible; border-bottom: none; clear: both; user-select: none; break-after: page; box-sizing: border-box;"><h2 fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Number of community gardens increasing in Istanbul</strong></h2><p fr-original-style="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; box-sizing: border-box;"><em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Urban life</em></p><p fr-original-style="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; box-sizing: border-box;">The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) is expanding its Community Gardens project, aimed at increasing green spaces in the city and enabling citizens to access healthy food through their own production. Currently serving in Kartal Karlıtepe, Ataşehir Darülaceze, and Pendik Kurtköy, the number of community gardens will significantly increase in the coming years. Istanbul residents can apply each April through local community leaders to enter a lottery for a garden plot, thus gaining the right to use it for one year. Lottery applications are made to the community leader's office of the garden's location within April. Each individual is allocated a 16-square-meter plot from the total 4,400 square meters of gardens available. Plot holders can plant the crops of their choice throughout the year. IMM aims to open eight more community gardens by 2029, thereby broadening the scope of the project.</p><hr fr-original-style="" style="height: 0px; overflow: visible; border-bottom: none; clear: both; user-select: none; break-after: page; box-sizing: border-box;"><h2 fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Bruges embraces green transformation</strong></h2><p fr-original-style="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; box-sizing: border-box;"><em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Urban planning</em></p><p fr-original-style="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; box-sizing: border-box;">The Belgian city of Bruges is poised to redefine its appeal with a major eco-friendly overhaul of its train station area. Renowned architecture firms ZJA and BoschSlabbers are leading the redesign, aiming to integrate the station seamlessly with its natural surroundings by transforming the existing station square into a sprawling park. This new green space is designed to offer both locals and visitors a refreshing gateway into the city. The project also prioritizes safety and accessibility, with new pathways being developed for cyclists and pedestrians. A standout feature will be the Vesten Passage, crafted to complement the historic city walls and create a seamless link from the station to the city center, enhancing the overall entry experience into Bruges. The transformation is scheduled to roll out in phases between 2024 and 2027, marking a significant step towards making Bruges a greener, more welcoming city.</p><hr fr-original-style="" style="height: 0px; overflow: visible; border-bottom: none; clear: both; user-select: none; break-after: page; box-sizing: border-box;"><h2 fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Aman da Bravo to close its doors on September 13</strong></h2><p fr-original-style="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; box-sizing: border-box;"><em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">F&amp;B</em></p><p fr-original-style="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; box-sizing: border-box;">After a decade-long journey, <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.instagram.com/amandabravoistanbul/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: rgb(9, 9, 9); text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent; outline: none; cursor: pointer; transition: color 0.3s; touch-action: manipulation; user-select: auto; box-sizing: border-box;" target="_blank">Aman da Bravo</a>, founded by Melis Korkud and İnanç Çelengil, is bidding farewell.
