RECLAMATION OF DEGRADED AREAS AS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE IN THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF CITIES
Abstract
The negative phenomenon of suburbanisation has been observed around the globe for many years. One of the methods of counteracting the process is directing the city?s development inward, improving the urban planning parameters, and using areas potentially attractive in terms of location but in need of new management. They are among others post-industrial areas, frequently characterised by a considerable degree of degradation (brownfields). The objective of the article is the determination of the potential of degraded post-industrial areas in cities. An attempt was made to determine the scale of degradation in selected cities. It involved selected analyses of the issue of re-use of post-industrial areas for the purpose of rational and sustainable management of urbanised space, and therefore strengthening of the ability of cities to improve the quality of life of residents. The article presents a detailed analysis of the issue of land degradation in two countries ? Poland and Kazakhstan. Attention was paid to the specificity and main causes of degradation in each country. A comparative analysis was performed.
