Abstract

V originále

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. It aims to evaluate the spatial impacts of deindustrialisation on the urban environment and subsequently interpret the functional and structural changes in the cities. Mapping techniques are used to analyse the spatial distribution of industrial activities, representation of industrial sectors and major industrial enterprises in both cities. The study integrates a review of scientific literature with a range of statistical sources from national and international statistical databases and collections. The data were processed and visually presented using ArcGIS. 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.
