Abstract

The notion of obsolescence as a subject of research opposes what is usually called Urban decay which is imprecise and doesn’t suit the process that leads to physical functional and economic decay of a built-up area. The concept of urban spatial obsolescence denies the notion of urban decay by taking in that this whole issue that imposes itself on the built-up areas of the city is socio-geographic. Obsolescence in the province of industry contrasts with the one in the urban dimension demonstrating that the process takes place in the interstices of the merchandised- geographicalspace production and reproduction contradictions.
