This land, known as "2-B land" according to the Forest Law, constitutes an area of 473,000 hectares and will be sold in five different ways after the amendment.

Municipalities and the Mass Housing Administration, or TOKİ, will use land in city centers for urban transformation projects. 2-B lands in city centers constitute an area over 22,000 hectares. Many residential areas in big cities like Istanbul, İzmir, Antalya and Muğla are 2-B lands. Land already used for industry will be sold to owners of industrial facilities.

If agricultural production is ongoing, land will be redefined as agricultural land. 2-B lands near forested areas will be reforested, if possible, to enrich the land’s qualities. Some of the revenue from sales will also be used to develop villages in forested areas.
