ABSTRACT
The ongoing processes of spatial transformation of post-industrial
regions attract people’s attention, and they show new
possibilities of development but they are also related with new challenges. A
deep analysis of known patterns must be an important lesson as, first of all,
we observe transformation of other regions, which gives rise to a question
about the possibility of using positive model solutions in other urban
contexts. Moreover, in every action contributing to the development of a region
with traditions, we should use every potential, understood as accumulated
energy and closed in facilities, individuals and their mutual relations. The
article is divided into five parts: (1) a short history of Nord-Pas de Calais; (2) a significant
introduction to history and spatial issues; (3) a description of corrective measures undertaken
on the basis of, e.g., an urban analysis
from the moment of taking a decision on ceasing coal mine extraction until
today; (4) a description of “a concept for the
region”; (5) conclusions—including
a catalogue of actions, prepared by the author, where an important aspect will
be the use of elements of spatial values and spatial identity of regions in the
process of planning spatial, social and economic transformation. In the article, the results of
studies conducted in years 2010-2015, based on statistical data analysis,
strategic documents analysis and an on-site visit are presented.
