It is estimated that in Istanbul alone, 90% of buildings are not resistant to earthquakes and a considerable budget and time -- nearly 20-25 years -- would be needed to retrofit all the buildings in the city.
Procenjuje se da samo u Istanbulu 90 odsto zgrada nije otporno na zemljotrese i da će biti potrebni znatan budžet i vreme -- skoro 20-25 godina -- da bi se modernizovale sve zgrade u gradu.
