Turkey plans largest administrative overhaul

The Turkish government is studying a bill to increase the number of provinces from 81 to 106 by converting 25 districts into independent provinces, with the aim of improving local administration and enhancing services in densely populated areas. The criteria for the candidate regions include a minimum population of 100,000 residents and a distance of at least 30 kilometers from the current administrative center, along with an assessment of their development level and infrastructure. If implemented, approximately 3.5 million citizens will benefit from this change, making it one of the largest administrative reorganization efforts in Turkey in recent decades.
