Original Abstract

The document titled National Brownfield Regeneration Strategy 2019-2024 includes updating the database, cooperation between regional units and monitoring of brownfield regeneration projects among its priorities for the Czech Republic. Within this context, this article focuses on specific features of brownfield registration systems in the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom. According to the National Brownfield Database, the Czech Republic had a total brownfield area estimated at 10,000 ha in 2007 and saw a 22% reduction of this area between 2007 and 2021. CABERNET's recorded total area of brownfield sites in the Czech Republic of 30,000 ha in 2007 included mining sites and put the Czech Republic in 5th place behind Romania, Poland, Germany and the UK. Both CABERNET and the National Database noted that a large number (35%) of brownfields in the Czech Republic were located on former industrial production sites. In the UK, CABERNET recorded a total brownfield area of 76,607 ha in 2007. To date, that area has been reduced by 44%. Interestingly, the UK has shown a 29% increase in brownfield land over the last two years, according to the Planning Data Platform. Brownfield regeneration remains a socially significant issue in both countries, being relevant not only to the problem of housing shortages but also to the effective use of government investment in, and subsidies for, the redevelopment of these sites. Although both countries have a statutory duty to maintain brownfield registers and the existence of these registers has proven very useful in brownfield development, the differences between the two systems, mainly in the degree of data interoperability, affect not only stakeholder engagement but ultimately economic development and deserve further consideration.
