In Poland, for over 30 years, measures have been taken to adapt post-industrial areas, especially those related to mining. One of the crucial areas that needed to be developed was the site of the decommissioned Coal Mine “Katowice”, located in the heart of the Upper Silesian capital. Today, about 56.5% of these areas are redevelop and known as “Cultural Zone”. On the one hand, this example shows how difficult it was to move from concepts to their implementation. On the other hand, it shows how the lack of a unified concept and spontaneous actions can partially lose the site's potential, despite relative success. This work presents the whole process of planning and transforming the postmining areas of the CoalMine “Katowice” - from the concept to the planning phase and implementation. Due to the specificity of the research subject and the need for multilevel analysis of dynamic spatial and economic changes in a long-term perspective, the research used: a query of archival, library materials and legal acts, an analysis of plans, project, planning documentation and mine closure programs, cartographic research, field research and photographic inventories.

The transformation of post-industrial areas of coal mines has been going on for over 80 years. Despite years of discussion and various international experiences, effective instruments and best practices for brownfields are still being sought. Today, in the face of rapidly changing social and environmental conditions, it is necessary to rethink the future of coal regions. To meet the challenges ahead, all experiences must be critically analysed and confronted with land development. This paper shows the main directions of decommissioned coal mines areas in the Silesian Agglomeration. For this purpose, it was necessary to identify closed mines’ areas and recognise they present land use. The research is based on a query of archival and library materials, field research, the author’s classification of land use, and cartographic and quantitative research. The study shows that the main direction of land use is industry (about 48.3%) and services (24.4%). Furthermore, until today more than half of the post-industrial land is undeveloped by mining facilities, and only about 7.4% of it is prepared for potential investment.

Pomimo dostępności wielu technik i technologii remediacji gruntu i wód podziemnych, dotychczasowe doświadczenia w zakresie rekultywacji terenów zdegradowanych wskazują wyraźnie na potrzebę dalszego ich rozwoju. Dotyczy to zwłaszcza skutecznego rozwoju technik bezinwazyjnych oczyszczania środowiska gruntowo- wodnego z zanieczyszczeń organicznych z uwzględnieniem perspektywy zrównoważonego podnoszenia jakości gleb i pełnej rehabilitacji ich funkcji. W tym względzie realizowanych jest wiele prac współfinansowanych przez Komisję Europejską. Należy do nich projekt 7 Programu Ramowego Unii Europejskiej UPSOIL, którego celem jest opracowanie metody efektywnie łączącej technologie chemiczne i biologiczne in situ oczyszczania gleb i wód podziemnych.

Despite current experiences, abundant knowledge and well developed remediation technologies, there still exists huge potential to raise effective ness of remediation; It concerns especially non-invasive in situ techniques for remediation of soil and groundwater contaminated with organic pollutants with perspective of sustainable soil quality improvement and its final full rehabilitation. In this area many EU funded projects are carried out. One of them is the EU Framework Program project UPSOIL which objective is to develop methods effectively coupling technologies of chemical and biological in situ remediation of soil and groundwater.
