The industrial and subsequently post-industrial landscape is characterized by a number of typical attributes and creates an image of regional identity. However, it is discussed more from an ecological and environmental point of view, with regard to the occurrence of biotic communities and species or soil and water remediation. Industrial landscapes as a category of historical cultural landscapes have not been sufficiently studied yet, methodological aspects of research for evaluation, classification and typology of this type of landscape are just at the beginning. This article proposes recognising and leveraging the heritage value of industrial landscape as a specific layer of culture and history that has been often overlooked.
