Erzurum is one of the cities, whose modernization and economic development is aimed in the first years of the Republican period and urban development plan has been made in parallel with this aim. The Lambert plan as the first urban development plan of Erzurum was made by the French Planner J. H. Lambert in 1939 and formed the core of the city. The plan has not been revealed up to this date and its structural configuration has not been discussed yet. The plan had formed the development of urban area in Erzurum between 1939 and 1957. In this study, Lambert Plan and its report as the first planning experience of Erzurum has been explored and examined. Also, effects of Lambert plan on urban order of central area in the city and the level of implementation have been examined. The present state of urban areas has been questioned in the context of this plan, and urban developments that do not comply with the plan have been revealed. In the scope of the study, while the effects of the plan on today's settlement characteristics of Erzurum were examined, on the other hand, the level of consistency of this plan to the principles and procedures of the Law of Buildings and Roads in 1933 was discussed. Firstly, the characteristics of the pre-planning period were explained in order to evaluate the general conditions in Erzurum affecting Lambert's decisions. The Lambert plan was then analyzed within the urban land uses (transportation, commercial areas, housing, green areas, conservation areas, new regions and industrial districts) in terms of both the 1933 Building and Roads Law and today's spatial organization. All these points indicate that the Lambert Plan is very important in terms of spatial planning history of the city of Erzurum.
