Investments in Land – Protection of Agricultural Land and Connection to Urban Planning

Abstract:

Investments in land constitute an essential element in sustainable development of land. Investments can be problematic as they often lead to taking up of agricultural land, which is then irrevocably lost. One of the possible ways of protecting agricultural land is to offer investments in sites, which were already used in the past. This paper is concerned with the connection between derelict and unused sites – which may be described as brownfields – and their cataloguing as part of the land-use (urban) planning process and determination of their function in land-use (urban) plans. The paper deals with the issue of urban planning in the Czech Republic and relevant legislation and cites examples of various solutions and their effects.
