The relationship between the industry and a town, or specifically the production and housing has gone through dramatic development during the past two centuries. Various tendencies became apparent in the theory and in the urbanistic practice. The integration of functions was apparent in a pre-industrial town at the beginning; this resulted in serious problems and a “collapse” of a traditional town as the industry grew dynamically during the “Gründerzeit“. In response, towns were criticized and effort was made to fully segregate functions. In the second half of the 20th century the schematic application of mono-functional areas was justifiably criticized and “reason-able” integration was required again after the transfer to polyfunctional units and complex solutions to towns.

The period of industrialization brought with it important changes in the life of our cities. A host of negative influences related to the growth of industries sparked a critique of urban development, which led, in turn, to a renewed interest in urban landscape, greenery and nature. In the course of the 19th century, public greenery of a modern type emerged as a reaction to the worsening of environmental conditions in the cities. In addition, the importance of highquality suburban nature for life in the city came to be appreciated.

The landscape frame is vitally important for every town landscape (namely the geomorphology and micro-morphology of the terrain, rivers and lakes, the vegetation and the weather conditions). The landscape features predetermine the location of a town; they influence the functional arrangement of the town, determine the directions of its development and are reflected in the space composition. They are significantly reflected in the town composition, complete it, and influence the town interior and exterior (the skyline). The paper deals in detail with the relationship between the relationship of the terrain and the town composition and presents a potential typology of situations in this relationship.

The area of the Nízký Jeseník Mts. is, among other things, well known for its shale roofing tiles since the 18th century. In places where shale was intensively or extensively exploited until 1945, abandoned areas after mining works remained. In general, every mining is perceived as a activity of landscape degradation by the public. However, these indelible traces of shale mining in the form of various mining-related objects (e.g. abandoned quarries, quarry ponds, shafts, drains etc.) are also gradually becoming places that are colonised by unique plant and animal communities. There are very interesting species bond to specific environmental conditions of post-mining landscape, with frequent rare and endangered species. People have also become ‘new’ colonisers in the case of the shale landscape.
