Abstract (2. Language): 
Due to widespread inequalities and dispossession processes in cities, urban people want to use their right to city and have a voice in cities as living spaces. Gezi Parki protests in istanbul on 27th May, 2013 started as an urban protest and square movement against the privatization and commercialization of urban public square with an environmentalist stand. Yet, the Gezi Movement then turned into a new social movement against the government and the capitalist class. In this article, the status of Gezi Movement as a new social movement in terms of space and class are discussed on the base of the concept of the right to city. The data used in this study comes from in-depth interviews with the representatives of the six groups actively involved in the Gezi movement.
