Şehzadeler
Şehzadeler is a planned district and second level municipality in Manisa Province, Turkey. According to Law act no 6360, all Turkish provinces with a population more than 750000, will be metropolitan municipality and the districts within the metropolitan municipalities will be second level municipalities. The law also creates new districts within the provinces in addition to present districts.[1] These changes will be effective by the local elections in 2014.
Thus after 2014 the present Manisa central district will be split into two. A part will be named Şehzadeler and the name Manisa will be reserved for the metropolitan municipality. (Şehzadeler means "princes" referring to those princes who served as sanjak rulers in Manisa during the Ottoman Empire period)
