This study evaluates the impact of the modernization process in the late Ottoman provincial administration on urban space through the administrative centers in Diyarbekir. Accordingly, initiatives to modernize the provincial administrative structure of the Ottoman Empire during the Tanzimat period, new urban spatial arrangements and building types are analyzed. The transformation of public space in Diyarbekir in the second half of the 19th century through the administrative centers formed by the government houses and the accompanying new public buildings which began to be constructed by the governors constitutes the focus of the study. Thus, the study aims to reveal the state's intervention in the reshaping of urban space through the formation and transformation of administrative centers in Diyarbekir.
