This paper, aiming to make a contribution to the research in urban planning approach during the Early Republican period, focuses on the plans Jansen had prepared for the city of Adana and investigates how Jansen’s planning principles were reflected in the plans. In order to establish an articulate framework for such an analysis, prevalent planning ideas in Germany during Jansen’s education and early yearsof his career have been discussed first. Furthermore, two of his earlier development plans (Berlin and Ankara) have been examined aiming to define his planning principles. Finally, with a particular emphasis on the latest development plan, the plans he had prepared for Adana have been examined for the paper in respect to five categories: zoning principles, concern for the historical fabric, the Siedlung approach, emphasis on nature and traffic improvements.
