The study thus attempts to identify the main elements determining the direction of the transformation of housing policy. In this respect, the paper bases its assessment on the concept of “modes of housing provision”.Significant modifications have been made on the institutional basis of housing policy in Turkey during the 2000s; a new term is posed in the housing field in Turkey: urban regeneration. It is important to understand how urban regeneration projects operate in the field. Field studies on these projects are thus overviewed in order to see how centrally (re)defined institutional structure is reflected on the field. Lastly, the discourse of the policy is analysed by identifying two sides: the legitimisers and the opponents of urban regeneration.}, number={33}, publisher={İdeal Kent Yayınları}
