LITOMĚŘICKO - NEW CULTURE AGGLOMERATION
Čičo Kulifay, Zuzana ; Dvořák, Jan (advisor) ; Köpplová, Barbara (referee)
The aim of my graduation thesis was to create a cultural vision based on urban
development of Litoměřice ? Terezín ? Lovosice towns (agglomeration L-T-L).
The potential of surveyed area of Litoměřice region was based in broad range of
rich historical, cultural, knowledge and spiritual traditions. One of possible
solutions how to animate this region and how to re-use many brownfields, was
orientation on combining cultural industry with tourism. The Litoměrice region is
a crossroad of international routes which are binding middle Europe with areas
near the Northern sea. There is a motorway and important railway corridor as
well, and the river Elbe is floatable from the junction with the river Vltava close
to the Mělník town, up to the outing in Hamburg. The tourism attraction of this
area is based on this fact as well and becomes a serious measuring criteria for
competing environment.
A formulation and imagination of future suppose a definition of complex views on
historical base as well as on present situation at the same time. Future planning
could be worthless and unfair without precise analysis, which is very detailed at
some points. Litoměřice region was a mixture of various nations, such as Czechs,
Germans and Jews, for hundreds of years, with their own habits and traditions,
which were influencing each other by nature. The major part of this graduation
thesis comprise the cultural fund of this area. Special respect is given to a
landscape context of the region as well, also called a ?Czech Orchard?, where the
river Elbe flows through the canyon of Czech Highlands. Five thematically divided
chapters comprises a set of culturally-economically glossary. In the end I
suggest a series of concrete projects for new usage of brownfields with respect to
the distance in between locations and everyday inhabitants migration. The
aglomeration L-T-L should get back his own regional importance in near future
and should become an important and visible cultural destination, by not only
national but european context consideration, in decades.
