heterogeneous cities, such as Bialystok, each group may have diferent or even contradictory attitudes toward the urban space. Te purpose of this paper is to examine how this space is seen by Bialystok inhabitants and what are the interpretations of the historical center in the ofcial memory of local authorities as well as in the memories of individuals and various communities of memory.Te analyzed data indicate diferences in social perception of urban space in various ethnic, cultural and political groups. Tese diferences suggest that the city center can be symbolically divided into two qualitatively diferent spaces, one of which, better known and prestigious, is associated with the past of the dominant Polish-Catholic group, while the other is the space less recognized and valued, which implies the past of other cultures. At the borderline of these two spaces, several conficts over space occurred in recent years. Te results suggest that Bialystok lacks a coherent perception of space and intergroup conficts over space may be repeated in the future.

This paper discusses industrial heritage, i.e. the society‘s relationship with the remnants of defunct industrial infrastructure. We demonstrate the issues involved on the example of Brno, one of the key economic centres of the Czech lands. Brno owes this status to its early industrialization, especially the textile industry which dominated its economic landscape from the late 1700s. Early 1990s saw the total collapse of the industry which resulted, inter alia, in the city‘s landscape being dotted by abandoned, defunct and derelict industrial buildings and building complexes. Those are now viewed as impediments to city‘s development and the city is looking for new ways to utilize them. These efforts have been somewhat successful, for example in revitalizing a number of brownfields, but a large-scale solution is still a desideratum. As a result, a number of building with great historical and cultural value have been torn down, including the industrial site of Vlněna, one of the icons of the textile industry in Brno, which was demolished in 2016. A unique opportunity to preserve, transform and revitalize this unique complex of buildings with immense historical value was wasted and thus a significant part of the industrial identity of Brno was irrevocably lost.
