TY - JOUR TI - “A second chance” – the concept of revitalizing the “Jawiszowice” State Coal Mine AU - Bucka, Agnieszka TI - “A second chance” – the concept of revitalizing the “Jawiszowice” State Coal Mine AB - The paper presents the problem of degradation of the former industrial complex PKWK “Jawiszowice” in Brzeszcze with its buildings and technical infrastructure, and examines the possibility of its re-use. It emphasizes the benefits of the area revitalization in the broad sense that seems to be the most sensible decision which may be made after the termination of extraction of the raw material. The main aspect is the implementation of innovative and creative solutions which consequently enable the creation of the development not only for the city of Brzeszcze but for the entire region. This example – which is the subject of the present discussion – was also the subject of author’s previous studies conducted in the framework of the masters’ thesis.
