URBAN REVITALISATION OF THE POLABINY HOUSING ESTATE

The thesis focuses on the revitalization of the Polabiny housing estate in Pardubice an area with a beneficial location near the Elbe River, extensive green areas and well-connected to the transport infrastructure. Although Polabiny maintains a stable population, its predominantly residential character limits its urban potential. The project proposes to redefine the role of Polabiny within the city through better integration into its urban structure, improved spatial orientation and enhanced mobility through a multimodal transport system. A key element is the creation of a clear street hierarchy that will support the connectivity of local centres and revitalise the public space. The design builds on the existing urban structure, sensitively adding missing functions - cultural, commercial and recreational activities - and adapting it to the needs of current and future uses.
