ABSTRACT

As a result of the industrial, scientific, and technical revolutions as well as the advent of the capitalist mode of production, there has been a gradual influx of people from the countryside into cities, and the former cities have continued to grow, significantly altering the internal structure of the metropolis. Both the distributional and social systems that clearly define this structure's several dimensions. The paper will concentrate on a few insights made by De Certeau and Marx on urban spatial theory, particularly the concept of structural stratification, and it will further discuss the significance and usefulness of this theory on modern living.
