A New Housing Challenge: Housing

Development Administration (TOKİ)

Why do we need Housing Development Policy in Turkey?

A New Housing Challenge: Housing Development Administration.

In countries like Turkey, where the pace of population increase and migration from rural areas has been very high and consequently urbanization process has been experienced in a short time span, demand for urban land and housing rises to a very high level. Particularly for the low and middle-income groups, the question of acquiring houses in a liveable and planned environment has reached high levels. Similar to the situation faced in almost all developing countries, making adequate shelter available, accessible and affordable to meet the housing need for the ever-increasing populations of the urban settlements has always been and remains to be a challenge for Turkey. In such a framework, social housing becomes one of the most significant issues of Turkey.
