Abstract
In recent years, different arguments have been made about urban regeneration in Turkey, similar to
many other countries in the world. Instead of a comprehensive approach suggesting new partnerships between
local authorities and citizens, urban regeneration in Turkey has been generally used as a populist instrument
of local authorities mostly to produce physical solutions for political gains in the short run. In this study,
the case of Central Garage District in Bursa will be discussed as an example of urban regeneration
implementation which started with the aim of rehabilitating a neglected urban area, but which resulted in an
urban regeneration process deprived of social/cultural and organizational aspects.
