Ostrava - Poruba: A ´Pure´ Socialist City in Change and Permanence
Original language description
After the end of World War II, the Czechoslovak village of Poruba was transformed into ‘New Ostrava’ thanks to the socialist housing project. The unique atmosphere of the ‘purity’ of Poruba was emphasised mainly by the complete architectural solution and the urban plan. The model socialist cities were rarely created on greenfield cites, without any history as Ostrava-Poruba, a later self-governing city district. After the Velvet Revolution in 1989, this urban community was undergoing socio-economic transformation and adapting to the conditions of capitalism. This chapter focuses on the transformation of Poruba, today’s administrative district of Ostrava, its spatial identities and image in the context of industrialisation, deindustrialisation, and especially post-socialist transformation. The study also identifies less and more visible changes of the Poruba’s physical, symbolic, and social space.
