Sustainable urban neighbourhood design of a Czech city
Venglář, Václav ; Erben, Adam (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
This thesis aims at designing a new urban district in the Czech town near state borders of Břeclav. This town has a specific historical development, landscape location, natural conditions including flood risks and its own almost rural character. In the second half of the 20th century, this character was considerably disrupted by the construction of high-rise apartment buildings and new housing estates that did not respect the existing scale of the buildings and the town as a whole. The approach taken in the creation of the new district was to respect the existing scale of the city and to preserve the existing residential buildings and the size of the original building blocks. Furthermore, the amenities such as school facilities and a nursing home are added and the currently underused or poorly used areas in the middle of the city are reclaimed. These areas should be instead the most exclusive and active. The newly designed development thus fills in the current blind spot of the city, limits urban sprawl into the open countryside, raises the potential of the city centre itself and improves the connection of the individual city districts both by transport and urban structure.
