Abstract
ABSTRACT This article discusses the connection between the nation-building process and urban planning practices in the 1930s in Turkey. To this end, it investigates the relationship between urban planning and the creation of growth poles, concentrating on Hermann Jansen's urban planning experience in Southern Anatolia. The findings indicate that Adana was designed as an industrial center; that Gaziantep was fashioned into a trade-industry city; that Mersin was developed as a sea gate; and that Tarsus and Ceyhan were to retain their small city character, with Tarsus designated an agricultural town while Ceyhan was assigned as a modern agricultural town for immigrants.
