Abstract

The paper examines the spatial structure of industrial production in the urban environment of two Central European cities, Wroclaw and Brno, and their changes during the transformation from centrally controlled to capitalist economies. The study used mapping techniques to analyse the spatial distribution of industrial activities, focusing on the representation of industrial sectors and major industrial enterprises in both cities. The research aimed to evaluate the spatial impacts of deindustrialization on the urban environment and subsequently interpret the functional and structural changes in the cities. Standard methodological procedures in regional sciences, including descriptive statistics and ArcGIS visualization, were employed. The results revealed similarities and differences in the transformation of the two cities and indicated the substantial scale of their post-industrial transformation. Major structural changes have occurred since the 1990s. The last two decades have been directed towards creating modern post-industrial environments while retaining the significant and visible industrial heritage.

工业遗产走向现代城市环境:弗罗茨瓦夫与布尔诺的比较研究

本文考察了两个中欧城市弗罗茨瓦夫和布尔诺的城市环境中工业生产的空间结构及其在中央控制经济向资本主义经济转型过程中的变化。这项研究使用制图技术分析了工业活动的空间分布，重点是两个城市的工业部门和主要工业企业的代表性。本研究旨在评估去工业化对城市环境的空间影响，进而解释城市的功能和结构变化。采用了区域科学的标准方法程序，包括描述性统计和ArcGIS可视化。研究结果揭示了两个城市转型的异同，表明了两个城市后工业转型的规模之大。20世纪90年代以来发生了重大的结构性变化。过去的二十年一直致力于创造现代后工业环境，同时保留重要和可见的工业遗产。
