 It is commonly accepted and very clear that housing provision can not be taken independently of planned urbanization. In this regard, the recent Government in Turkey has given utmost importance to "planned urbanization and housing provision" in its "Government Programme" and "Emergency Action Plan", and consequently Housing Development Administration of Turkish Prime
Ministry has been charged by the Government with the duty of providing adequate housing to the needy people throughout the country. To this aim, by operating in all the dimensions of urbanization and housing, HDA targets to ensure a balanced country-level urban development and to enable every citizen to own an adequate house, whether through realizing directly alternative exemplary implementations or through making legal regulations. In this framework, by producing %5-%10 of the housing need in Turkey, HDA aims; to form a model with sample applications; to reduce the cost and to enhance the optimum quality; to provide discipline and to prevent speculations through the sector; to provide housing production in the regions in which the private sector services are insufficient; to apply renovation of squatter housing in cooperation with the municipalities; to provide contribution for the realization of a uniform extension of the population through the whole country; and to enhance planned urbanization through the country, HDA, is eager to work with all its effort to realize the "adequate shelter for all" principle, with commitment to the Government's housing policies.
