Considering the difficulties that the public authorities are facing to manage a space that neither belongs to the town, nor to the countryside, regular failures characterized the implementation of a “peri-urban” urban policy. These failures have led to the creation of an area whose delimitation is considered as a controversial matter between researchers, and which is considered as an “urban fringe”. Thus, the present paper sets out to review of two location factors, linked to the fringe, such as land and labor that shapes the industrial space. This review consists of analyzing the local stakeholder system that leads interactions between these two factors on one hand and space on the other. This paper examines also the new approaches of industrial planning that could appear as a solution to urban fringes population’s needs. However, the legal and executive tools are missing and the conceptual and methodological assets of these public policies still lack strong roots.
