In Turkey, many cities’ histories date back to ages ago. Many Anatolian cities are multilayered cities which mean cities can contain two or more different periods’ traces, ruins, monuments or parts, and Eskişehir is one of these multilayered cities. The city has been home to many cultures and civilizations, like Phrygians, Lydians, Roman and Ottoman Empires. In this thesis, identity of city will be trying to analyze; the permanent marks and also changes will be searched in the case of Eskişehir. Characteristic singularity makes a place differ from other places. In this respect; culture, society, physical attributes, political decisions have a portion to constitute creation of the identity. Five groups are determined for researching characteristic features of the city. These are physical, historical, social, functional, and spatial structures. Distinguishing values that come from the past help to clarify characteristic features of place and, in addition to this, for understanding as a whole perspective, changes and new added values will be considered together. Various kinds of projects are realized in Eskişehir the last years. These implementations have great importance on re-shaping identity of the city.
