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.
