Forming the Modern Turkish Village

An investigation into the modernist interventions in rural Turkey as another significant way of social engineering during the early republican period.

During the early republican period, architectural interventions in rural Turkey took the form of social engineering as part of the state's modernization and nationalization policies. Forming the Modern Turkish Village by Özge Sezer demonstrates how the state's particular programs had a powerful effect on rural life in the countryside.

She examines the regime's goals and strategies for controlling the rural people through development projects and demographic shaping to create a strong Turkish identity and a loyal citizenry.

The book outlines the implementation of new rural settlements, particularly following the 1934 Settlement Law, with a geographic focus on two cities - Izmir and Elazığ - each with varied socio-economic and ethnic standings in the state program.
