Možnosti využití brownfields pro rozvoj loftového bydlení - případová lokalita DADA Distrikt (areál bývalých industriálních skladů) v Brně
Šťastný, Jiří
This work deals with the possibilities of using post-industrial brownfields for loft housing. In the section devoted to the literature search, the concept of brownfields was defined and then a typology of these sites was presented. Furthermore, in this part, the issues of regeneration of these sites were introduced with a focus on brownfields of industrial origin. A separate subchapter is devoted to loft housing. The theoretical part was supplemented with examples of implemented regeneration of brownfields, both from the Czech and foreign environments. Empirical research of this work was conducted in the form of semi-structured interviews with actors of the project of regeneration of the former industrial warehouse now known as DADA distrikt and with experts on this issue. Based on the analysis of the interviews, the process of regeneration of the studied site was described, the most significant challenges associated with the process of brownfields regeneration for loft housing were identified and recommendations for the development of loft housing in other urban locations in the Czech Republic were formulated. On the basis of the research, seven most important obstacles to the use of brownfields for loft housing were identified. These are complicated property relations of these buildings, the level of dilapidation, ecological burden, inconsistency between the visions of actors, insufficient definition of industrial heritage values, outdated or rigid zoning plan and insufficient profitability of the building. In relation to the last problem, the inappropriateness of the classical development finance model for projects of conversion of post-industrial brownfields for loft housing was identified. The readiness of spatial planning instruments, clear definition of industrial heritage values and popularisation of alternative forms of financing are essential for intensified use of brownfields for loft housing.
