If the relationship between the city and politics is left behind, the fact of historical independent cities, the socio-economic facts and the national-global facts cannot be addressed independently. Historically, the world system has been shaped by the world-economic phenomenon, and cities have become part of the world-economy. In this article, the city and political relationship was studied in the framework of the urban elite problem. The urban elite methodically assumes the urban elite cycle and the dynamic elite approach, while the urban elite cycle is treated as an expression of socio-economic and political-cultural dynamics. Accordingly, cities are structures of socio-economic and political-cultural character formed by dynamics on a global-national and local scale. Cities are entering a crisis in the context of socio-economic qualitative changes, the organized public opposition of urban elites to the effects of the crisis is emerging, and resistance ends with success or failure and enters the urban elite cycle. This crisis, by putting the old socio-economic structures of cities, power centres and organized public ideology into the dialogue of integrity and division, adapts to the changes in the world economy and financial policy and to the functional and factor changes. In the article, the fact of the city elite change in Bursa, on the basis of the intervention of the “multi-national” Cargill company, the city public opposition/resistance formed against the intervention, the resolution of the opposition and the “new” urban public conception, the city elite cycle was evaluated in the statement.
