Abstract

The malls are maximum symbolic and commercial consumption spaces of the actual capitalist society. The re-functioning of certain parts of the city in decline, certain emblematic historic buildings have become in new urban myths, answering a symbolic appropriation as recovery and economic enhancement in the market of certain parts of the city. Social values that are loaded in the emblematic buildings or areas to be “recovered” by private agents become recreational resources and might even say, in monopoly rent.
