%X Urbanization, as an effect of forced industrialization during socialism, characterizes industrial cities in Romania, most of them evolving through the industrial activities that gave a certain structure and function, which also determined an urban crisis as a result of the industry restructure, and redefining the role that industry have had in the national economy during transition. Hunedoara city, a mono-industrial city by excellence, evolved a little bit different from most of the country¡¯s industrial cities, meaning that, when the urban systematization process began, this city had already a certain industrial tradition and a high urban development. Therefore, we can correlate the evolution of the industrial platform with the gradually urban growth. ¡°The explosion¡± in Hunedoara, between 1956 and 1977, dictated the actual model of functional and spatial organization, during these times the population had a growth rate of 116.2%, and the built space expanded 60%. Even today, industry, through restructuring, dictates a new process for reorganization of the urban space, geo-demographical and social movement. This article analyses those processes determined by industry both in socialist systematization period and the restructure period after 1990.
