Recently, due to the accelerating urban population growth, the urban population rate has exceeded the rural population rate worldwide. Much of this increase is due to the Global South and East, with a significant portion of the population living in urban informal settlements. Therefore, urban transformation is inevitable for the rehabilitation of cities. However, squatting is a type of settlement that the states generally turn a blind eye to, and thus implicitly support for decades. The same states, this time, are trying to transform the same slums, which gained value especially in proportion to their proximity to growing cities.However, it should not be forgotten that in urban transformation, the balance between financialization of housing, dispossession and humane housing rights of slum settlers must be carefully and fairly. In this study, it has been tried to make determinations about the causes of the problem and to bring suggestions for solutions through some examples of slums and urban transformation from the world and Turkey in particular Ankara.
