In this study, the production of collective identities, both national and local, and the role of culture and heritage to this end in the production of spaces, will be evaluated in the context of the Republic of Turkey and the case of the city of İzmir. The construction of local identity by the local government’s interventions in cultural spaces at the turn of the 21st century, will be analyzed as an alternative to the construction of national identity in cultural spaces produced by the state during the 20th century. In other words, how the nation-building process of the state was expanded to the local identity building process will be studied. Thus, this thesis will analyze the relationship between politics of culture and space by examining the cultural spaces established by the state and the local government. The main goal is to understand the cultural politics of central and local governments in a comparative frame by examining the spaces of cultural institutions established in İzmir from the early 20th to the early 21st century.
