IDENTIFICATION OF BROWNFIELDS IN A SELECTED DISTRICT OF WARSAW
Abstract
The issue of spatial development of post-industrial facilities and areas is currently one of the most important challenges of planning urban development. The renewal and revitalisation of such areas is part of contemporary trends involving optimal and sustainable development of urbanised areas in order to create a compact city, i.e. one efficiently using its spatial resources. The implementation of revitalisation projects is a complex and expensive process which often requires remediation or reclamation, and consideration of cultural and historical conditions. Therefore, it becomes an important challenge to perform detailed characteristics, analysis, and evaluation of post-industrial areas to provide the basis for their future development. Due to the need to adapt to EU requirements, Polish law has undergone significant changes over recent years, including issues related to pollution of post-industrial areas. An important step was passing of the Regulation of the Minister of the Environment of 1 September 2016 regarding the register of historical pollution of the earth's surface. It stipulates among others the development of a map of historically contaminated land. No such studies for Warsaw have been made so far. The objective of the article is to determine the state of use as well as identification and inventory of industrial and post-industrial areas in the selected district of the Capital City of Warsaw, Poland. The research also involved the determination of the directions of changes in industrial areas. As part of the analysis, identification and valorisation of post-industrial areas in the selected district were carried out.
