Journal Title: Revista Romana de Geografie Politica - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 2
Abstract
In the spirit of environmentally friendly urban development, which has gained importance in recent years, increasing attention has been devoted to the status of brownfields, i.e. areas within the internal parts of settlements that had lost their previous functions. This problem appears with particularly acuteness in Hungary’s Észak-Magyarország (Northern Hungary) region, which was one of the most important zones of heavy industry in the country in the period between 1945 and 1990, and as a result, it had numerous and extensive brownfield areas after the political transformation. With a view to the above, the purpose of this study is the analysis of the Integrated Urban Development Strategies prepared by the cities in the region, the presentation of the concepts formulated in these documents in connection with the brownfield areas, and the exploration of the differences between the potential opportunities of use.
