Originální abstrakt

The paper addresses the possibilities of urban densification as one of the potential solutions to the housing crisis. It focuses on the identification and analysis of underutilized spaces, such as vacant lots, underbuilt structures, and attics, which may represent reserves for new residential development. The research conducted in a district of Brno assessed these areas in terms of their physical and legislative suitability for redevelopment. The paper highlights densification as a key instrument of sustainable urban development, offering economic, environmental, and legislative advantages. A more efficient use of the existing urban fabric allows the transformation of unused resources into new housing capacity and contributes to the optimization of urban space without the need for urban sprawl into the surrounding landscape. At the same time, the paper outlines the main barriers to densification, including technical, legislative, and social constraints, which may complicate the implementation of such projects.
