Abstract
Social identity of Bursa develops in line with the changes in its population and social, economic and political structure. The establishment of Turkey's first planned organized industrial district in Bursa in 1962 was a breaking point for the social and economic life. This process played an important role in the formation of new residential areas and new housing typologies in the city, as well. Models of traditional Turkish house fell into disuse and construction of apartment blocks and mass housing started to be seen within the framework of modernization. This study aims to discuss the changes in housing character of Bursa in terms of plan typologies. These changes are discussed by means of evaluating the plans of housing units which can be seen as the significant examples of different periods since 1960s.
