This article is dealing with the position of colonial space in a globalizing Metropolitan. Starting with the idea that Colonial space is a materialization of colonial system of production, It will investigate how are these colonial spaces responding to their actual context, with different system of production, needs and demands. Firstly, it will start by defining what is colonial space then it will continue by classifying colonial spaces based on their role in the colonial system of production, then grouping them based on their positions in the actual context either as built heritage or institutional heritage. It will be analysed based on two layers of analysis namely, economic and socio-cultural. By doing so it is expected that we could discover problems and potentials related to these spaces that could help reposition these spaces in their actual context and to some extent elaborate them in general urban strategic planning.
