The Turkish way of housing supply and finance for low- and middle-income people.

Highlights: [•] Poor people are generally unable to exercise living in an adequate housing condition throughout the world. [•] Turkey has its own original approach to social housing supply and finance for poor people. [•] It provides direct provision of housing instead of the provision of additional financial resources to the poorly housed. [•] The revenues obtained from revenue-sharing projects make implementation of social housing projects financially possible. [•] The Turkish way of social housing supply and finance also provides transformation of slum areas into livable places. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
