Brno - important industrial center?

Abstract

Since the year 1989 the city of Brno went through substantial economic and social changes resulting into the decline of city based industry. The city economy is lacking the propulsive segment of the major firm with strong multiplicand effects. Deindustrialization shapes the city economic policy as well as the spatial pattern of the city. Possible high-tech oriented line of city industrial development opens further discussions about the role of industry and production services within the local economy, as well as about relations between "old" and "new" industrial sectors
