Brownfield Dilemmas in the Transformation of Post-Communist Cities. A Case Study of Ostrava, Czech Republic

Original language description

The main purpose of the paper is to analyse the procedures of urban brownfield solutions, with a focus on the environmental and cultural-historical aspects. The paper explores the dilemmas of brownfield regeneration and redevelopment. These processes areplaced in the wider perspective of multi ? transformation processes of post-communist cities. We compared two former industrial zones ? Karolina and the Lower Area of Vítkovice in the city of Ostrava ? where we illustrated the key factors influencing their transformation. These case studies point to a unique example of urban industrial brownfields concentrated within the area around the city centre, surrounded by residential zones. These brownfields also reveal the scope of the problem, as they are connected not only with the urban structure, but also with environmental, economic, social and cultural aspects. To research the issue in depth, we mostly used a qualitative approach to examine perceptions and to frame the brownfield issue.
