Özet
In recent years, many new projects have been prepared for neglected public spaces which have lost their
functions in different cities of Turkey, either by means of private commissions or competitions. However, this
process has generally resulted either in the complete disappearance of public spaces or the transformation of public
spaces to transit areas or more controlled spaces like shopping malls. The Central Garage, which was constructed in
1961 as the largest garage of the Balkans and which was used for thirty five years as the terminal of Bursa is an
interesting example for this subject. After the Central Garage lost its function as a terminal, it was abandoned, and
experienced physical and social dilapidation for a long time, and was finally transformed into a shopping mall. This
paper aims to evaluate the process during which the Central Garage was transformed from a public space to a
shopping mall in Bursa.
