This study examines the changing role of the public sector in Turkey with regard to housing provision since 1950, and particularly since 2000, and seeks to clarify how public intervention has affected housing provision and urban development dynamics in major cities. Three periods may be identified, with central government acting as a regulator in a first period characterized by a ‘housing boom’. During the second period, from 1980 to 2000, a new mass housing law spurred construction activity, although the main beneficiaries of the housing fund tended to be the middle classes. After 2000, contrary to emerging trends in both Northern and Southern European countries, the public sector in Turkey became actively involved in housing provision. During this process, new housing estates were created on greenfield sites on the outskirts of cities, instead of efforts being made to rehabilitate, restore or renew existing housing stock in the cities. Meanwhile, the concept of ‘urban regeneration’ has been opportunistically incorporated into the planning agenda of the public sector, and — under the pretext of regenerating squatter housing areas — existing residents have been moved out, while channels for community participation have been bypassed. Résumé Cette étude porte sur l'évolution du rôle du secteur public en Turquie en matière de fourniture de logement depuis 1950, et plus particulièrement depuis 2000. Elle tente de montrer comment l'intervention publique a influencé ce domaine ainsi que la dynamique urbanistique des villes principales. On peut identifier trois périodes, le gouvernement central agissant en régulateur dans un premier temps marqué par un ‘boom du logement’. Durant la période suivante, de 1980 à 2000, une nouvelle loi sur le logement de masse a stimulé la construction, mais les grands bénéficiaires de ce financement ont été plutôt les classes moyennes. à partir de 2000, contrairement aux tendances apparaissant dans les pays européens du Nord et du Sud, le secteur public turc s'est fortement impliqué dans la mise à disposition d'habitations. Ainsi, de grands ensembles se sont élevés sur des terrains ruraux à la périphérie des villes, au détriment de projets de réhabilitation, restauration ou rénovation du parc urbain existant. Dans le même temps, le concept de ‘régénération urbaine’était intégré opportunément au programme d'aménagement du secteur public qui, sous prétexte de régénérer les quartiers squattés, contraignait les habitants à déménager tandis que les canaux de participation communautaire étaient court-circuités
