Twenty-Tewnty-Eight
Hodulíková, Diana ; Marková,, Blanka (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
Programme by the European Union, the European Capital of Culture (ECOC), is an occasion to host a year-round cultural festival and a possibility to transform the city. The scope and format of the event are a unique opportunity to accelerate development and articulate the fundamental shortcomings of the environment. Brno has applied for this title for 2028. The first half of 2022 is at the beginning of its preparations for the first round. The candidacy is an opportunity for the city to network with diversified stakeholders and realize the values of local heritage based on multiethnic and specific history. Brno can innovate itself socially, economically, urban and sustainably within the candidacy, The thesis deals with the innovation potential of the city of Brno based on a sustainable approach to its heritage, inspired by six cases of cities that applied for the ECOC: Štýrský Hradec, Genoa, Ostrava, Vratislav, Paphos and Trenčín. The individual selected examples represent different approaches to candidacy, thus reflecting diversified processes and results. Although many of them have succeeded in transforming their identity, addressing complicated history or signing up on the map of Europe thanks to the ECOC, they are evaluated not only through a utopian perspective but rather as a reflection of the positive and negative changes caused by the ECOC candidacy. Inspiration from examples from abroad is prescribed in the strategic diagrammatic design of the urban solution of possible future sustainable development of the city of Brno through the candidacy for the ECOC based on the heritage-led approach in the last chapter. In conclusion, however, it should be noted that the ECOC is a unique opportunity for the city of Brno to obtain positive acceleration effects. However, it can quickly become a development pitfall accompanied by destructive side effects.

Constructing Participatory Spaces: Involving Citizens into the Urban Development Planning from the View of Planners
Beránková, Petra Alexandra ; Mička, Pavel (advisor) ; Veselý, Arnošt (referee)
The work deals with constructing of participatory spaces in the process of urban development planning. The topic of involving citizens into planning is viewed from the point of planners. A concept of participation in this text is conceived in the sense of invented spaces built from above. The research perspective is an interpretative one, anchored in the constructivist epistemology. Therefore the main question is: How do planners reflect involving citizens in the planning? Firstly, the authoress demonstrates the importance of her topic by putting it into the context of wider social dynamics related to the crises of representative democracy and emerging of sub-politics. She reveals that the trend of building participatory opportunities is strengthening. The important question is formulated: How is the role of public in the strategic planning constructed? On the base of analytical induction of semi-structured interviews with planners, the authoress creates her own typology of ideal-type approaches to participation. These types of approaches came out from a distinction of the extent and the aim of spaces of participation. The involvement of citizens can be seen either as building of community, activation of elites, mapping of public preferences or as consultation with local experts.

Design of a sustainable urban structure - based on a medieval city - for the 21st century.
Bušinová, Eva ; Erben, Adam (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
The thesis deals with the design of a sustainable urban structure, based on a medieval city, in the 21st century. The main idea of the proposal is the creation of a new part of the town Náměšť nad Oslavou with the aim of connecting it with the existing urban structure and at the same time extending it to the missing elements of the developing city. The newly built area is designed with an emphasis on the construction of new residential housing with civil facilities services, while designing and creating public spaces and private parts of courtyards and villas. The aim of the thesis was to design a growing territory so that it adapts to the needs of today's society and at the same time became part of the existing city. From an urban point of view, based on the theme of the thesis, the aim is to combine elements of a medieval city with elements of a city built in the 21st century. The concept is based on a planned network of streets with multifunctional buildings designed for trade and production in the ground floor and housing on other floors, which originated in the medieval city. The emblem of the medieval city was the emotional perception of the connection of strict lines and strange shapes into one whole, and therefore buildings were designed in a new part of the city for living with almost clean geometric lines, while the objects of civil facilities are organic shapes.

The socio-ecological transformation of the former Prague slum "Pod Bohdalcem - Na Slatinách"
Barkász, Csilla-Zsuzsa ; Novák, Arnošt (advisor) ; Čada, Karel (referee)
The thesis is the result of qualitative field-research, based on semi-structured interviews and observations in the former Prague slums Pod Bohdalcem and Na Slatinách. The research reflects competing visions of various stakeholders with regards to the future development of these last almost fully preserved colonies, which were created for- and by the poor. The thesis also reconstructs and monitors the development of the conflict that arose between the inhabitants of the colonies and the urban planners in the course of the creation of the study "Bohdalec-Slatiny- Brownfield Strašnice", which proposes a new city-district in the area of the former colonies. It further captures the main reason for the dispute, namely the different perceptions of the colonies by its inhabitants and the institutions responsible for urban planning. For the first actor the area in question means 'home', as well as a place with rich history, while for the second it represents mainly a lucrative brownfield. The thesis also compares often incompatible visions of the stakeholders. It further describes signs or strategies of resistance that the inhabitants manifested from the beginnings of the colonies to the present day. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the concept of the right to the city and considers the...

Vliv fortifikací na utváření a vývoj našich měst
Zíka, Vratislav
The founding of the vast majority of cities in the Czech Republic is closely related to the extent and form of their fortifications. For centuries, city walls were a determining force in urbanism, and in many cities their influence is still evident and valid today. This paper summarizes the key principles of the development of urban structures in relation to city fortifications and outlines possible lessons learned from them, which could be applied to current urban planning. The area-based constraint on city development in the past has led to qualitative development of the built-up within the walled area. An important role was played primarily by privileges that supported the economy within the walls. Perhaps such measures could be used for the development of selected areas within present-day cities as well.

Elasticita sídelní struktury a rozvoj sídel do krajiny: podíl zastavěného území a zastavitelných ploch v krajině
Jenčková, Barbora
The settlement structure undergoes a permanent change. Urbanization has been accompanied by gradual expansion of settlements into the landscape. In metropolitan areas, an increased demand for development areas creates pressure for identifying further plots to build at the expense of undeveloped landscape. The extent of existing urbanization around a metropolis is often not directly dependent on the natural conditions and morphology of the area, the distance and the relation to the metropolitan center being decisive. Settlements are forced to cope with change. An essential property of settlement structures is therefore adaptability. The elasticity of the settlement structure is therefore presented as a value that allows responding to changes. On the basis of theoretical conclusions, verified through case studies, the properties and characteristics of elastic settlement structures will be determined.

The Reconstructions of Skopje and the Formation of Macedonian National Identity
Nedbalová, Andrea ; Králová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Žíla, Ondřej (referee)
The capital city of the Republic of Macedonia, Skopje, has undergone two important architectural changes during the last half a century. Both of these, the renewal of the city after the devastating earthquake of 1963 and the extensive architectural project "Skopje 2014" launched in 2010, included content which focused on the formation of Macedonian national identity. The diploma thesis The Reconstructions of Skopje and the Formation of Macedonian National Identity analyses how architecture and urbanism was used to form Macedonian national identity. As these two events had very different initial conditions, the nature of these reconstructions, together with the promoted visions of national identity and their presentation, differed considerably. The rebuilding of Skopje after the earthquake presented Macedonian national identity to a greater extent through a strong ideological content based solely on visions of the future. In comparison, the project "Skopje 2014" presented an interpretation of national identity through specific symbols. This construction was based on the interpretation of historical events, resulting in a new understanding of the historical continuity of the Macedonian nation. The fact that two vastly different visions of Macedonian national identity, presented through the recreation...
