TMMOB

The Union of Chambers of Turkish Engineers and Architects, or TMMOB, is a public professional organization established in Turkey in 1954. Its primary purpose is to unite all engineers, architects, and urban planners practicing in Turkey. TMMOB is composed of 24 chambers, each representing a specific professional discipline within these fields. The organization acts as a collective voice for its members, addressing professional, ethical, and technical issues.

TMMOB plays a significant role in setting professional standards, contributing to national development plans, and providing expert opinions on matters related to engineering, architecture, and urban planning. It also engages in advocacy on behalf of its members, often commenting on legislation and government policies that impact the professions and the public interest. The union is involved in continuing education for its members and publishes various journals and reports. Its activities are guided by principles of public welfare, professional integrity, and sustainable development. TMMOB is an independent entity, although it operates within the legal framework of the Turkish Republic and is considered a body of public importance.
