Özet: The Hamamönü district of Ankara is undergoing a serious transformation under the name of “street rehabilitation” project. The historical heritage of the district constitutes a valuable source in terms of tourism. Transformation and change are intrinsic parts of nature in parallel to time. However, in today’s capitalist societies, the transformation of spaces like Hamamönü features exchange value over use value in comparison to the former periods. This process creates winners and losers via inclusive or exclusive structures, whilst producing spaces lacking identity and detached from their very own history. In this regard, this study aims at explaining the undulant story of the Hamamönü from its formation to present through examining the transformation of the district in its historical context.
