- Abstract
Etimesgut, one of the suburban (banlieue) districts of Ankara, has undergone various spatial experiences throughout its history. It was chosen as one of the "model villages" of the newly founded Republic and became one of the first projects of Turkish modernization in the rural areas. While Etimesgut was home to the staff houses of many government and state institutions starting with the 1960s, the district could not stand intact to the effects of general housing structure in the country in the 2000s. Thus, Etimesgut has become a mass-housing area containing middle-class "housing estates" like Eryaman. This transformation is clearly seen in the plethora of real estate agents which determine the facades of the district.
