This paper, which is based on a chapter of a PhD thesis, is in two parts. The first part corresponds to the understanding of the notion of morphological processes, having as a guiding thread the work developed by M. R. G. Conzen, who considered the actions of transformation, addition, adaptation and stagnation. In the second part, motivated by the PhD research, attention is given to the process of stagnation with emphasis in the persistence of the urban elements, including studies of this nature on cities in Europe and Latin American as well as the case study developed in the thesis. The purpose of the bibliographical research was to collect theoretical and practical answers for the study of the persistence of the street, considering an ordinary, active city where the process of transformation is continuous, given by material, human or temporal action, without external interference of an exceptional nature.
