Abstract
The deeply imbalanced spatial pattern of Turkish industries results from successive stages in the industrialization process. The demand of the Ottoman palace and the pressure of European countries concentrated the first plants around Istanbul, Izmir, Bursa and Adana. State-impulsed development of the kemalist period resulted in some dissemination, before a first liberal intermission in the 1950s. During the 1960s and 1970s, diversified actors such as the public sector, newborn holdings, mixed economy companies and «popular sector» bound to external migration, were involved in industrial growth whereas planning measures obtained some redistribution of industries. Since 1980, the ultra-liberal policy set up by Turgut Ôzal favoured again the tendency to concentration in Western Turkey and especially in Greater Istanbul.
