Abstract

Problems occurring in post-industrial areas constitute large issue in social, economic, spatial as well as ecological point of view. According to research of National Institute for Spatial Policy and Housing post-industrial areas occupy 4% of urbanized areas is Polish cities. Poland among European countries is one with the biggest percentage of post-industrial areas in cities. In the context of large scale of degradation of cities re-use of former industrial areas ? brownfields - is one of the challenges of rational space management. Post-industrial areas due to the possibility of contamination are often the source of potential negative influence on natural habitat and human body. Contamination of post-industrial areas may vary significantly and it depends on the area?s specificity and the kind of performed historical industrial activity. This article presents analysis of the process of identification of pollutants in post-industrial areas on examples of chosen post-industrial cities. Research of potential methods of revitalisation former industrial sites was also done. Discussed cities are examples of integrated revitalisation process including stage of identification of pollutants, their neutralisation and new management of post-industrial sites. Approach to revitalisation of abandoned industrial areas presented in this article makes space for resolving ecological problems occurring in post-industrial areas through their re-use. Revitalisation of post-industrial areas, including revitalisation of polluted sites allows on rational space management based on the rule of sustainable development.
