The problem of the interstellar grains is in many ways still unsettled. The theories of the formation, growth, and destruction of the grains have undergone a number of modifications because of the very significant increase in our understanding of the dynamical processes in our Galaxy. I will emphasize here how the density wave theory of the origin of the spiral structure may lead to a new broad concept in dust formation and its generic relationship with star formation. The basic physical processes are not changed but rather the framework in which we consider them.
