Talking about how it’s changed over time

I live in Istanbul. It is the most developed and the largest city in Turkey.  Also It is the only city in the world which has lands on two continents, Asia and Europe. Besides these, It is an ancient city which was the capital of three major continents empires, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman. It attracts many visitors because it is famous for its magnificent landmarks such as the Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar. You can see, in the city, the affects of diverse cultures, nations and religions from the history.

It is a beautiful place with its natural beauty and multireligional background. I have lived there for all my life and I can never imagine myself living in another place. So I really like living there. I think I can reach anything I want easily.

However, it is a bustling city. The cost of living is going up every year. It is really difficult to make ends meets if you don’t have a house or higher wages. Traffic can also be an another issue. It is difficult to find a parking space. There are traffic jams at certain hours in a day. Public transport is always crowded, you can not find a place to sit when you get on the bus. So it can be exhausting to live there in some cases.

Istanbul has changed in the last twenty years. It is unrecognizable when you look old city photos. The city has expanded physically and economically. The transportation system is getting better, it is easy now to reach anywhere by using it. People’s demand for living in huge apartments has shaped the appearance of the city. I can say it is an old and modern one now. Furthermore, the population is growing getting higher and I think this brings the problem of solitude, isolation and insecurity. You can’t feel a sense of community in the city.

a parking space is a space big enough for a car, a parking area is a zone of a city where cars park.

the population is growing means there are more people in the city, the population is getting higher  means perhaps they are taller

My advice, is keep your sentences simple, The city is famous for its wonderful mosques.  Is simple.  But using : is actually pretty tricky and seldom used, so I'd avoid.
