This article proposes reflections on the processes of deindustrialization and repurposing of former factories, railway stations, and port warehouses, as well as their impacts on the urban space, based on a survey and a mapping of industrial remnants in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The study is grounded on bibliographical and documentary research, and the theoretical framework revolves around the concepts of repurposing, industrial heritage, and industrial remnants. The findings reveal that most repurposed remnants have functions related to culture/art and consumption, while a quarter of the industrial remnants are currently abandoned and without function. It is concluded that, despite the neglect and abandonment of these facilities, there are opportunities to devise pathways for creating new uses for these industrial remnants
