Abstract

The objective of these deliberations is to broaden the discourse relating to the effect of revitalisation measures undertaken in post-industrial areas and their references to issues connected with preserving the identity and heritage of a place. Upon the example of the Upper Silesian conurbation, the Authors shall present research reflecting how post-industrial areas can become creative urban spaces. The first to be presented will be the case of the city of Gliwice, where the territory of a former coal mine assembles the most innovative IT and R&D companies. The second case will focus on the city of Katowice, where the territory of the former coal mine have been included in structures of a zone assembling cultural facilities. In both cases, a phenomenon that seems to be extremely valuable is the attempt to change the negative image of post-industrial areas into an attractive urban space, preserving the industrial heritage.
