So from an utterly apolitical perspective, combining Şişli northern exclave into Sarıyer makes some sense. After all, what use is your council if you have to travel through a whole other district to get to it? Of the old district’s rump, the southern partition remained the centre, containing council facilities and much of the city that had sprung up since the 1950s the north, meanwhile, was home to three indistinct neighbourhoods: Ayazağa, Huzur and Maslak. It looks to me like it was a bizarre decision. Şişli was cleft twain in 1987 when Kağıthane (yellow on the second map) was promoted to become a district of its own.
