Cities are experiencing a constant process of change and transformation depending on political, economic, social, cultural and environmental factors. The driving forces that shoot the mark of the industrial era have left their place in post-industrial societies to new factors. This transformation in various areas, from the production structure to the management structure and to the socio-economic structure, has brought the historic city centers into a rapid process of collapse. In this context, urban and cultural policies have seen culture as an important resource in the renewal and reanimation of historic city centers that have been rooted over the past 30 years and have charged the culture with various missions. In literature there are various discussions about how much culture has contributed to the resolution of the various problems experienced in the historic city centers. In this article, the concept of culture was discussed within the scope of urban planning literature. In the framework of the cultural economy and the urban space relationship it creates, the urban transformation approaches in the cultural leadership have been developed.
