Abstract
The development and renewal of brownfield sites have now evolved into an inevitable task in urban planning. Indeed, these areas are considered as potential and hidden reserve areas for cities due to the different urbanisation processes and urban planning trends (urban sprawl, com- pact city approach, etc.). However, the process of revitalisation is not always a ‘smooth journey.’ One reason is that merely physical regeneration is not sufficient to reintegrate the area into the urban fabric. It is essential to identify the economic, environmental, and social processes that have an impact on the area, to pinpoint the local actors/stakeholders, and to map the characte- ristics of the neighbourhood and the internal and external factors that hinder its overall rege- neration. Therefore, a detailed and in-depth study should be conducted prior to revitalisation. In this research we examined and prepared a case study of a brownfield site in Budapest (the breweries of Kőbánya in Budapest – which used to be known as the “Hungarian Munich” in the 19th century). We identified the main external and internal factors, as well as local and district particularities and obstacles to regeneration.
