The paper applies to the city of Rovaniemi and the morphological and spatial structure of its urban space. As a result of a comparative analysis of chronologically compiled town plans conducted by the Conzenian school of urban morphology, correlated with the written sources about the history of the city and field research, six stages of morphologic-spatial development of Rovaniemi were specified. A number of factors which exerted an influence on the development of the urban space of the town in the course of time have also been identified.

Artykuł dotyczy historii kształtowania się współczesnej struktury morfologiczno-przestrzennej miasta Rovaniemi (Laponia, Finlandia). W wyniku przeprowadzonej analizy porównawczej chronologicznie zestawionych planów miasta metodą M.R.G. Conzena, uzupełnionej o kwerendę literatury dotyczącej historii miasta i badania terenowe, w dziejach Rovaniemi wydzielono sześć etapów rozwoju morfologiczno-przestrzennego. Wyodrębniono także szereg czynników, które wywierały wpływ na przestrzeń miasta w poszczególnych okresach jego rozwoju.

The paper discusses issues about the revitalisation of spoil tips, socio-economic polarisation and social exclusion in the field of municipal recreational activities based on an example of the largest post-industrial region in Europe – the Ruhr area in Germany. Revitalisation of brownfield areas very often leads to the creation of leisure facilities of various types (with a range of entrance fees) and because of this it may mitigate, or exacerbate, the severity of these negative phenomena. In the Ruhr area there are 104 spoil tips of different origins (mine tips, slag heaps, rubbish dumps), sizes and shapes (from conical heaps, through table mountains shaped tips and intentionally shaped for landscape tips, to major tips) and state of preservation. The research has shown that it is possible to use the majority of these spoil tips in the Ruhr area (87 of them) as leisure facilities as they have been changed into green areas, parks, playgrounds, locations for sports activities and tourist attractions after their restoration. Furthermore, they are mostly accessible free of charge and may serve a wide range of people – from locals to visitors, from children to senior citizens etc., regardless of their income. As such they may mitigate the socio-economic polarisation tendencies in the region.

The aim of the paper was to consider the extent of the impact of revitalization on the evolution of post-industrial sites, which manifests itself in morphological and functional changes of urban space. Research was performed on three former iron and steel works areas located in the Ruhr region in Germany: one of the Thyssen's ironworks in Duisburg - Meiderich, the area of steelworks complex Gute-Hoffnungs-Hütte in Oberhausen and the area of the iron and steel works Phönix in Dortmund - Hörde. Methods were applied specific to urban morphology. For each object of study a comparative analysis of the town plan was carried out. Town plans were compared before and after the revitalization process and special attention was paid to land use. This allowed us to observe morphological and functional changes which occurred as a result of the revitalization of the study areas. The research showed that the revitalization of post-industrial space may be conducted in many different directions but irrespective of that it has a huge impact on the evolution of urban space in both a morphological and a functional way. The extent to which revitalization affects morphological and functional structure of urban space depends on the future plan for the spatial development of the site and its attitude to its post-industrial heritage.
