Except for specific cases, there has not been a planned and programmed housing policy in Turkey. After the 1960s, with the increase in the population of the cities, the slums built by the poor began to appear, and in time they began to spread from the city centers to the periphery. Housing production started to be a part of this process as the construction sector, which started with the neoliberal era, began to be seen as a means of accumulation. Especially in the last 20 years, the construction sector (especially housing) has become the sector that receives the most investment, surpassing other sectors. For this reason, slum constructions began to be prevented and housing acquisition began to be encouraged with various financial instruments. On the one hand, the central government accelerated the housing production throughout the country by giving special powers to the Housing Development Administration (TOKİ), and on the other hand, it aimed to revive the construction sector in the cities by expanding the authorities of the local governments. Housing production has an important place in the construction sector. However, at the point reached in housing production, prices have increased speculatively, in the selection of zoning plans and lands opened for development, profit has begun to be prioritized over public interest, and housing production has begun to be seen as an investment element rather than a need. In this study, after the development of the housing sector in Turkey, the current housing policies will be discussed through the case of Gaziantep. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
