Abstract :The aim of this study is to examine the changes in the identity of the Ismet Inönü-2 Boulevard in the Eskişehir Old Factory Area through the transformation of public and private spaces in historical context. In the study, first, the three eras that are; the development of the Boulevard due to the industrialization of the Early Republican period, the situation up to the year 2000 and the rapid transformation process witnessed after 2000 will be given chronologically. Then, spatial transformations on the Boulevard, which are the indicatives of the socio-economic changes, will be discussed through concepts derived from the literature survey. These concepts will also be exemplified and concretized through the field work conducted in the Boulevard. It is inferred from the investigation that the identity of the Boulevard related to industrialization and production disappeared and a new identity has arisen due the consumption spaces such as Cafés, Restaurants, Hotels, Office Blocks and Shopping Centers surrounding the Boulevard through the revisions of the development plans. According to the findings obtained during the study, İsmet İnönü-2 Boulevard reflects socio-economic transformations with the qualities and the transformations of the private and public spaces it hosts. The street, which is re-structured evolving from the production society to the consumer society, is an "invented street” and the interface built on the street produces private publicities and excludes the public.Keywords : Public Space, , Private Space, , İsmet Inonu-2 Boulevard, , Eskişehir, Consumption
