Turkey, as a developing country, requires substantial amount of housing stock. TOKi (Toplu
Konut idaresi & / #8211 / Housing Development Administration), as the pioneer housing project builder,
has a great significance in the housing production of Turkey. However both in TOKi projects and
in general, sustainability has not been a central issue for the architectural practice in Turkey. On
the other hand sustainability is an in evitable issue when the environmental, social, cultural and
economical benefits are concerned. Especially sustainability in TOKi projects has a significance
due to their potential to establish a re-production model.
This thesis explores the benefits of sustainability for the housing project design in Turkey. The
existing situation of three different types of TOKi housing projects will be critically evaluated. In
the end, it will be tried to attain proposals for the development of sustainable housing in Turkey.
