Generalframeworkofthedevelopmentissuesof urban agglomerations • Urban agglomerations are spatialunitsworking as a wholeregardlessthetheadministrativeborders. In these areasthere are dominant intemsiverelationshipsbetweenthecorecitiesandthe settlement structureoftheirvicinity. These are relationshipsthat are based on mutualneeds in termsofdivisionoflabour, wherethe dominant role isplayed by centripetallinkages to thecoresovercentrifugalrelationships to othersettlements in thevicinity • Urban agglomerations are thedriversofeconomicdevelopment. • Urban agglomerationsaccumulate most oftheinhabitantsandeconomicactivities • Agglomerations as functionalunitsestablished on the basis ofmutualadvantagesandneeds are not currentlycontrolleddirectly • Agglomerations do not havetheirownpoliticalrepresentatives nor directtoolsforinfluencingtheirdevelopment • Still, theagglomerationsexistanddevelop • Thequestionishowtheirdevelopmentisdirectedandifitisrationalandefficient in termsof public fundsexpenditure

Definitionofthe Brno agglomeration • Criteriafordefiningtheagglomeration • theshareofdailycommuting to Brno to thetotalnumberofeconomicallyactive Brno inhabitantsisabove 25 % • theaccessibilityofthe Brno city centre fromthenearbymunicipalitiesusing public meansof transport andindividual transport iswithin a 40-minutetime • coherenceofthe area ofagglomeration The defined Brno agglomeration including Brno covers 96 municipalities forming a single functional unit with very tight every-day work related linkages and linkages to amenities
Brno agglomerationandsuburbanisation • Suburbanisationiscloselyrelated to theagglomerationdevelopment • Suburbanisationis a processofexpandingtownsnecessitatingspatialchanges in the settlement • Suburbanisationiscaused by the resident movingfromthecentralpartsoftheagglomerations to theoutskirtsandbeyondtheadministrativeborderswhilekeepingclosefunctionalrelationshipswiththe settlement centres • Suburbanisationisaccompanied by concentratingnewproductionandservicespremisesestablished on theoutskirtsofthesettlements in localitieswithconvenient transport connections • Thepresentsuburbanisationserves as anexampleof a lackofcontroloverthe urban developmentdynamics in theagglomeration, whichbringsabout a numberofproblems, thesolution to whichcallsforfurther public investments
Causesof residence suburbanisation • changedbehaviourofthe society after 1989 (replacementofthecontrolledprocessesofurbanisation by processesofuncontrolledsuburbanisation) • desire to own a place to live in a goodquality environment (meeting therequirementsforhealthyandtranquil environment set in naturalvegetation, effort to detachoneselffromtheoverpopulated stress-prone city) • rising standard oflivingofsomegroupsofresidentsandtheirability to resolvetheirhousingissuesindependently(1st suburbanisationwave - prominent peoplefromthe past, beneficiariesofrestitutions, newentrepreneurs, specificprofessions – lawyers, physicians, senior officials, 2nd suburbanisationwave – middle-incomegroupusingmortgages) • increase in individual mobility (rapid rise in car transport available to a broadspectrumoftheresidents) • inabilityoftowns to offerenoughadequateandavailabledevelopmentlotssatisfyingthehousingdemand in variousforms (problemswithensuringnecessaryconditioninginvestments, unclearownershipp) • increase in land lotsprices in cities(land speculation by thelandowners, pricesoflots do not reflectthenecessaryinvestments) • low land lot pricesaroundcities(originallowvalueagricultural land are increased in value by thelandownerschangingthelotsintobuildinglots via the urban master planwith a lowerpricethantheprice in thecitiess) • land speculation - restitutionclaims(thisisanarisingphenomenonofspeculatingwith land thatissubject to restitutionclaimsthat are boughtup on massivescaleandtheclaims are lodgedwiththe Land Registry forunitedareas in attractivelocalitiesthat are considered as buildinglots in the urban master plans ) • complicated, lengthyandmore expensivehousingdevelopment in cities • much simpler, shorterandcheaperhousingdevelopment in smallmunicipalities(thisisveryoftenrelated to unresolvedinfrastructureandnecessarycivicamenities, whichisrevealedaftersometime) • lowercostsofliving in thesurroundingmunicipalitiescompared to the city itself
Consequencesof residence suburbanisation • excessiveincreased mobility in theagglomerationrequiressolutions to the transport infrastructure, both transport by carsand public meansof transport (requirementsfor public budgets) • increase in car trafficdeterioratesthequalityofthe environment in areasadjacent to roads(areasalong trunk roads are affected, butthe settlement structuresofthemunicipalities in thevicinityisaffected, too) • expansionintoundevelopedareasissubject to extensiveoccupationofagricultural land, whichchangesthelandscape in thesuburbanareas • low intensity ofusingthesuburbanareas- hardlyserviced by thenecessarycivicamenities • a newstandard oflivingoftheresidentsofthesuburbanareasisbeingcreated, differingfromtheoriginalexpectations • excessivedevelopment in thesurroundingsofthe city indirectlyresults in thedeclineoftheinnerdistrictsofcities(resulting in „brownfields“) • Theestablished residence ring aroundthe centre oftheagglomerationcausesresistance to anynewintervention
