\"Poster\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Two-day conference in Prague aimed to describe the possibilities of housing estates transition not only from architectural viewpoint, but also with focus on related policy-making processes, role of administration, and private sector involvement. First day of the conference was based on a complex introduction of three housing estates urban renewal examples. Panel discussion with invited guests followed. During the second day of the conference, results of case studies and research project were shown, and Czech experts including architects, urban designers, sociologists and municipality representatives introduced local experiences.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Thursday, 13th<\/sup> November<\/h3>\r\n

Programme of the first day is based on a complex introduction of three housing estates transformation examples which were chosen as ones of the most significant and widely presented round Europe. Each of them differs in background context, actors involved, and mainly in scale of intervention which was based on region development potentials.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

NL \/ Bijlmermeer, Amsterdam<\/h4>\r\n

Modernist Bijlmermeer in Amsterdam represents one of the most known examples of high-rise area transformations in Europe. The city of future turned into problematic locality soon after its completion. Redevelopment finally reached 55% of demolitions, flats had been replaced by single-family dwellings mostly. The whole area was differed into smaller localities with individual character and local centres were strengthened. The renovation of the Bijlmermeer is a joint project carried out by the Municipality of Amsterdam, the City District of Amsterdam-Zuidoost, and Rochdale Housing Organisation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

FR \/ Vaulx-en-Velin, Lyon<\/h4>\r\n

Lyon\u2019s suburb Vaulx-en-Velin is currently undergoing an urban regeneration in Grand projet de Ville. Project focuses on social disparities solution and consists both of spatial and social interventions. Grand projet de Ville is co-commissioned by the state, Grand Lyon and Vaulx-en-Velin city. It is also involved in territorial projects defined by CUCS (Contracts of urban social cohesion) and ANRU (National agency for urban regeneration) which takes major part in the project financing. From structural perspective project involves street system redefinition, setting-up a new hierarchy of spaces, and new dwellings and infrastructure construction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

DE \/ Leipzig, Gr\u0171nau<\/h4>\r\n

Since post-socialist transition, Leipzig has been continuously shrinking. Decision to adapt and manage the shrinkage evolved in Gr\u0171nau housing estate transformation project. The planning strategy consists of preserving the architectural heritage, demolitions of buildings replaced by open green spaces, and creation of micro-scale centres. The term \u201cperforated city\u201d stands for a model of urban shrinkage management.\r\n

Gr\u00fcnau with its nowadays 40,000 residents is still the biggest housing estate in Leipzig, even after the loss of almost 50,000 residents since the reunification. Several strategies have been developed and programs been used to deal with the shrinkage, spatial deficits, and increasing social problems. The municipality in cooperation with housing companies and civil stakeholders of Gr\u00fcnau is currently preparing a new strategy for Gr\u00fcnau since the loss of population is stopped and growth is predicted. After years in which vacancies, demolitions and brownlands have been the main issue for urban planning, an integrated view on the future development of Gr\u00fcnau is possible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
