MIB Talk: Brownfield Transformation

free entry, registration required

(Wed) 28. 01. 2026

18:00 - 19:30

The hidden potential of a compact city.

How can brownfield transformation contribute to affordable housing, public spaces and quality of life – and what role do they play in strategic planning? Today, brownfield sites are not a problem but one of Bratislava’s greatest opportunities for sustainable and compact growth within the city.

Registration

The talk will introduce the Bratislava Brownfield Development Strategy developed at the Metropolitan Institute of Bratislava, which lays the foundation for a coordinated and systematic renewal of these areas. Based on long-term data collection, it builds on key city strategies such as Bratislava 2030, the Urban Housing Policy Concept and will support the principle of a compact city in the new Metropolitan Plan. The discussion will explore how the city can actively shape brownfield transformation through concrete policies and tools that help transform underused sites into fully integrated urban neighbourhoods.
