The Great Moments of Urban Industry in Galati City

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of urban evolution and spatial planning in the Galati city through the last two centuries. Three great periods are identified that change the urban morphostructure. The first begins with the embrios of shipping industry in close relationship with the natural conditions. The second stage reflects the planned policy affecting also the material and immaterial structure of the city. The last 20 years express the new wave of urban industry connected to a mixed technopolitan evolution.
