The Use of Brownfield Sites in the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Adriana
This bachelor thesis deals with the successful revitalization of unused and abandoned buildings that are no longer able to perform their original use, called brownfields. The main aim of the thesis is to compare the position of the countries in dealing with brownfield issues between the Czech Republic and the UK. Further-more, according to the findings, to suggest improvements in the issue for the Czech Republic. The Czech revi-talised brownfield Dolní Oblast Vítkovice in Ostrava and the English The Royal Albert Dock in Liverpool were selected as examples of successful revitalisations in the countries. From the sources elaborated in the bachelor thesis, the difference in approaches to the problem between the countries is evident. The UK is doing much better on brownfield issues than the Czech Republic. The biggest reason is gaining experience and maintaining or strengthening its strengths in dealing with the issue. Since the 1970s, when the UK was one of the first coun-tries to address the issue and find a suitable solution. Although the Czech Republic has been dealing with brownfields since the 1990s, it has only taken a more active approach since 2000. This delay has caused the Czech Republic to lag behind other EU countries and a prevalence of weaknesses in dealing with brownfields. The solution for improvement would be for the Czech Republic to try to neutralise or strengthen the failings. This would help to address the problem more effectively.
