Özet: Turkey has not remained behind the developments in the world in terms of planning and planned development, even though there were not great successes.

After especially 2000s, with the pre-accession process of Turkey with European Union, the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics NUTS was adopted and development agencies DA in each region were founded to accelerate regional socioeconomic development.
