| Description | One of the basic transforming processes of the period since 1989 has been the process of demilitarisation. Among other things, one of its consequences is the emergence of abandoned military buildings and areas – so-called military brownfields. These kinds of brownfields have a large number of specific features to which their subsequent revitalisation must necessarily be adapted. As a large number of these areas are situated within municipalities or are directly adjacent to them, it is essential for the revitalisation of these sites to be approached with great sensitivity. This contribution deals with chosen examples of revitalised Czech post-military areas with a special view to their residential function, which is presently the dominant functional use of these areas. |
