The Istanbul SUMP vision is based on nine main objectives that are aimed to be achieved as the planning studies in Istanbul progress.

For each of the objectives, a set of indicators have been developed to monitor during the implementation of the Istanbul SUMP. For each indicator, a basic value was tried to be defined and targets were developed. Indicators and targets will be monitored at certain time intervals.
