Sustainable urban neighbourhood design of a Czech city
Kiowský, Filip ; Erben, Adam (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to design a new urban structure for Břeclav. The conceptual study addresses the connection of two separate urban units through a new polyfunctional district. Returning to well-proven urban planning methods plays an important role: compactness and working with public space, as well as nature-inspired landscape interventions. The result is a polycentric neighbourhood for eight thousand inhabitants. The design consists of a series of urban blocks, the scale of which is adapted to the existing part of the city, thus achieving intensive land use, tapping into the potential of the area for the sustainable development of the entire Břeclav without a need to expand into the surrounding countryside. Public spaces are systematically hierarchized, giving the new district order. Emphasis is placed on permeability, overcoming barriers such as watercourses and the busy main street 1. máje. Ecological modes of transport are preferred - namely public transport, cyclists, and pedestrians. The design thus offers an alternative to the current wave of Czech cities expanding to their surroundings.
