Bakırköy is a densely populated middle class residential suburb of İstanbul, Turkey on its European side, on the coast of the Sea of Marmara. Bakırköy is an important shopping and commercial center for İstanbul.In Byzantine times Bakırköy was a separate community outside Istanbul and was called Hepdoman, Makrohori ('the distant place') which was distorted to Makriköy in the Ottoman period, when many large houses were built here. In 1925 this was changed to Bakırköy in a move to eliminate all place names of non-Turkish origin. Further out of town from the centre of Bakırköy is the town of Yeşilköy (Ayastefanos). There is little remaining of historical significance in the area: what there is includes a cistern (Fildamı Sarnıcı), a powder house from the 17th century (today used as Yunus Emre Kültür Merkezi in Ataköy), the central mosque and fountain of 1875, an Armenian church and school and the resting place of the Muslim saint Zuhurat Baba, a Turkish soldier who died during the conquest of Constantinople. His resting place is often visited by women on Fridays.Bakırköy became a popular residential area in the late 19th century after the construction of a railroad connection to İstanbul and is still populated by Istanbul's middle-class (trades people, bureacrats, the retired). It has not seen the vast influx of people that have flooded into the cheaper buildings in places like Bağcılar, and Bakırköy appears tidier than those areas although still densely populated.

The planned satellite town of Ataköy to the west of Bakırköy centre is very tidy indeed, and was probably Turkey's first successful planned development. Ataköy contains much social infrastructure including the Galleria shopping center and yacht marina.The center of Bakırköy is an important commercial district and has lots of shopping (including a number of huge shiny shopping centres as Carousel), many bars and cafés and the seafront is a popular location for clubs and restaurants, (although the beaches have not been usable for decades). Veli Efendi Turkey's largest and oldest Hippodrome, built in 1913 for horse racing is close by. There is a ferry boat service that takes passengers to Bostanci on the Asian side of the city and also to the Adalar (Islands).Atatürk International Airport is located here, in the quarter of Yeşilköy. A number of five-star hotels have been built around the airport. There is some textile production on the fringes of the area but Bakırköy is residential and commercial rather than industrial
