Coal mining, geopolitics and cities
There is a rich literature on mining towns, those urban formations that have evolved rapidly worldwide following the discovery of minerals or solid fossil fuels. Mining has been both a driver and a goal of imperial expansion and continues to feature prominently in geopolitical rivalries. In this article we go beyond the casual observation that mining shapes urbanization in specific places (known as mining towns) and show how urbanism is shaped no…
Digesting the truth
Desert or garden? Energy sacrifice zones, territorial affordances and competing visions for post-coal landscapes
Preference and paradox
Structural change in the agricultural economy may result in the abandonment of agricultural buildings, creating rural brownfield sites. Since the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989, post-agricultural brownfields have become very common in Central and Eastern Europe. Our aim is to uncover and understand the reuse preferences for 16 reuse options, among 1275 survey respondents (local residents) from 272 rural communities with post-agricultural brownf…
Community Landscape Preferences for Reuse of Soviet-Era Post-Agricultural Brownfields-What's the Difference
Reuse preferences for post-agricultural brownfields on former socialist agricultural premises in CEE countries are likely to be diverse and may depend on communities' experiences. Our research question is to reveal, through a questionnaire survey of 774 respondents from 180 communities, the difference in reuse preferences among communities with different experiences: communities where former collective farm sites had been abandoned (leaving a pos…
The good, the bad, and the nobody
Rhythmanalysis and reproduction of space in a brownfield regeneration process
The article deals with the regeneration of a former textile factory in the Czech Republic, focusing on different types of actors and their distinctive rhythmicity. At least three types of actors with a distinct relation to time can be identified in the regeneration process: NGOs, municipal authorities, and private companies. NGOs tend to think with a long-term scope, municipal authorities have a four-year election period, and private companies pl…
Regeneration of Post-Agricultural Brownfield for Social Care Needs in Rural Community
In the 21st century, rural communities face many challenges, including implications of dynamic population aging, a lack of social care services, and the occurrence of abandoned post-agricultural brownfields. This paper is methodologically based on the findings derived from a set of qualitative in-depth interviews with the key rural stakeholders, explores the decisive factors and limits, accelerators, and barriers governing successful regeneration…
What drives visitors to tourist sites to choose “green” accommodation facilities
Rebuilding a community ‘centre’ under free-market pressure
In post-socialist countries, recycling urban spaces is one of the key tasks for local authorities to address. While large-scale abandoned places received the required attention, small-scale brownfields have been omitted from redevelopment strategies. Using transition theory on the effects of globalization on communities and the theory of action fields, the paper aims to increase knowledge about the ways in which local actors strive to reach the g…

Return of the Local Democracy to the Territory of the Military Training Areas (Case Study the Czech Republic)
The return of the local democracy to the military training areas raises a number of complex challenges even under the conditions of a democratic state. In the municipalities that were established in the Czech Republic on 1 January 2016 by a separation from the territory of the military training areas, a nondemocratic paternalist system has dominated for many decades at the local level, which in some cases was deepened by a presence of the foreign…
Taming the genius loci? Contesting post-socialist creative industries in the case of Brno's former prison
Re-development of a former military training area—The case of Brdy told from a local actors’ perspective

Brownfields do not “only live twice”
Factors affecting brownfield regeneration in post-socialist space
Exploring spatial patterns of urban brownfields regeneration
The Path From Passivity Toward Entrepreneurship
Europeanization research dealing with the environmental transition in Eastern Europe has focused on the roles of state actors in adopting European regulations. Less well understood are the framings and roles of public administration actors when European Union regulations do not prescribe specific institutional changes. This article offers a micro perspective on the framings and roles of such actors in several cases of brownfield regeneration. Act…
Population Decline in Polish and Czech Cities during Post-socialism? Looking Behind the Official Statistics
The evolving debate on ‘urban shrinkage’ mirrors an increasing interest in demographic phenomena on the part of urban scholars. This paper discusses ambiguous evidence about recent population decline in the large cities of Poland and the Czech Republic, with a particular focus on Łódz and Brno in general and their inner cities more specifically. By applying a mixed-method approach, the paper identifies indications of inner-city repopulation and s…
