İzmir, historically Smyrna, is the third most populous city of Turkey and the country's largest port after İstanbul It is located in the Gulf of İzmir, by the Aegean Sea It is the capital of İzmir Province The city of İzmir is composed of 9 metropolitan districts (Balçova, Bornova, Buca, Çiğli, Gaziemir, Güzelbahçe, Karşıyaka, Konak, and Narlıdere), each with its own distinct features and temperament The total population as of 2007 is 2,649,582, of which 2,606,294 is urban[1] The total area of the nine districts is 855 km²[2]

İzmir has almost 3,500 years of urban past, and possibly that much more of advanced human settlement It is Turkey's first port for exports and its free zone, a Turkish-US joint-venture established in 1990, is the leader among the twenty in Turkey Its workforce, and particularly its rising class of young professionals, concentrated either in the city or in its immediate vicinity (such as in Manisa), and under either larger companies or SMEs, affirm their name in an increasingly wider global scale and intensity [3] İzmir is widely regarded as one of the most liberal Turkish cities in terms of values, ideology, lifestyle, dynamism and gender roles It is a stronghold of the Republican People's Party, although it lost a lot of ground to the ruling AKP party in the 2007 election

The city hosts an international arts festival during June and July, and the İzmir International Fair, one among the city's many fair and exhibition events, is held in the beginning of September every year It is served by national and international flights through Adnan Menderes Airport and there is a modern rapid transit line running Southwest to Northeast İzmir hosted the Mediterranean Games in 1971 and the World University Games (Universiade) in 2005 It had a running bid submitted to the BIE to host the Universal Expo 2015, in March, 2008, that was lost to Milan Modern İzmir also incorporates the nearby ancient cities of Ephesus, Pergamon, Sardis and Klazomenai, and centers of international tourism such as Kuşadası, Çeşme, Mordoğan and Foça

Despite its advantageous location and its heritage, until recently İzmir has suffered, as one author puts it, from a "sketchy understanding" in the eyes of outsiders When the Ottomans took over İzmir in the 15th century they did not inherit compelling historical memories, unlike the two other keys of the trade network, namely İstanbul and Aleppo Its emergence as a major international port as of the 17th century was largely a result of the attraction it exercised over foreigners, and the city's European orientation[4] Very different people found İzmir attractive over the ages and the city has always been governed by fresh inspirations, including for the very location of its center, and is quick to adopt novelties and projects
