Abstract :The concept of culture industry that used as a key concept. Cities gain "meta presence” in the culture industry by restructuring their identities that they have. The current strategy of urbanization policy is to make industrial production tool by making the culture obsolete. So urban transformation projects are one of the important tools of identity production to raise up the economic and social power of the cities, today. This text revealing, the cities' cultural and spatial values, encountered problems at the urban identity design process. This is the phenomena of the power of politics. While globalization attaches importance to the nature of the space that produces social relations, it still acts within rational modernity (structuralist thought), which perceives time as homogeneous. Because capitalism tends to be "destruction of the process over the time". This attitude continued until it has realized that globalization could not be experience in the same way in every society. Today, community-specific cultural practices restructured with 'market-focused' norm production. This development stems from the fact that new culture and identity policies play an active role in the global economy. In this process, multinational corporations disintegrated the autonomous spheres of nation states. In doing so, they also supported the masses by highlighting their micro identity and belonging. The logic of capitalist perception and fiction is 'structural'. "Structuralism" separates (by bringing into account information on a measurable value) the factors in the "spatial" and "social" differentiation that determine the cultural diversity. The society studies in the logic of Cartesian thought. According to this logic, the market is a structured field of social acts. "Cultural industries" are also the structural components of the market in this context. This study examines the urban transformation studies in the context of the culture industry, capital and city and urban transformation in the context of the policies to create the culture industry.Keywords : Culture Industry, Globalization, Modernity, Urbanization, Identity Policies
