Abstract


Industrial derelict land is an important aspect of the recent urban transformations. Closing or movement of establishments makes «vacíos» in town. If the phenomenon is extensive the image of town is gravely damaged, giving derelict factory a desolate spectacle. The term industrial derelict land is defined and the interpretations that this process has received in the foreign bibliography are presented, above all in France and Germany. These «vacíos» are interpreted as a component ofindustrial change and as a potential of urban renewal.
