Özet: This study aims to locate the Yenidoğan and Çinçin Bağları neighborhoods in Ankara, Turkey, within a framework of ‘gecekondu’ transformation processes that started in the Aktaş district as a result of the urban planning policies carried out within a neo-liberal socio-political environment. The data gathered through ethnographic methods such as oral interview and in-depth interview point out that the neo-liberal urbanization processes in the Yenidoğan and Çinçin Bağları neigborhoods result in ‘displacement’ and ‘homelessness’ for the urban poor. Moreover, the negativities that result from the ‘gecekondu’ transformation processes are articulated into the existing gender inequalities and enhance the poverty and inequality experienced by women. Therefore, the future of  Yenidoğan and Çinçin  Bağları is dependent upon the ways in which the urban poor and especially women, whose lives are being shaped within dynamics related to displacement and gender inequality, are supported through social policies.
