Climate obsolescence
Introduction
Urban obsolescence or urban decay is the deterioration, disuse or lack of quality of the spaces, streets, infrastructure and buildings that make up one or several cities. This term is used when referring especially to neighborhoods and industrial zones built beyond a historic urban center and/or an urban industrial center, that is, in urban growth, whether peripheral or concentrated; which especially began to be generated from the beginning of industrialization until the beginning of the 1950s in Europe, and with the transfer of the existing industrial complexes from the United States to areas with more favorable conditions for the entrepreneur at the beginning of the 1980s.
Given the demographic growth that is occurring worldwide, originating from the better sanitary and nutritional conditions, apart from the concentration of population in the main urban centers and the population change, with the transfer of the rural inhabitant to the urban environment, together with the combination of certain "improvements" of modern urbanism: height, great distances between buildings, zoning of uses, motorized travel"), lack of identity of urban spaces, and the fact that most of the free zones have not had any treatment, have influenced the difficulty of metropolitan integration of these neighborhoods. This difficulty is increased as they are in many cases urban environments inhabited by a series of socially vulnerable individuals, which leads them to create socially depressed housing environments. The end result is rapidly degraded places and depressed neighborhoods.
History
Beginnings of the process
For much of the century, the Modern Movement lived the dream of continuous growth: the Charter of Athens assumed that cities would never stop expanding. But, given the excessive growth, it was believed that it would remain viable and coordinated with the demographic growth of the century. This illusion expired with the oil crisis, which demonstrated that the promise of continuous growth was nothing more than one of the many circumstances influenced by the political and economic development of modern society.
