The level of major transporting infrastructure of one culture often reflects its level of civilisation. In the past, the focused of transportation network concentrated mostly on the transporting and safety efficiency, nevertheless, demonstrated very little appreciation of the ecosystem. As the result, the development in conveyance provide a highly convenient modern life style, at the same time brought to the nature environment and landscapes unrecoverable impacts. It is often found that around the world the predominant concerns of early road constructions involved engineering and constructing challenges rather than the considerations of environmental maintenances. This has caused great ecological repayments such as the landslides, the avalanches and the debris flow disaster; consequently, it has become an urgent and vital issue, which has the priory even above economical and tourist developments. In the recent years, under the influences of the global ecologist movements, eco-engineering has become the fashion in our present public transporting infrastructures designs. However, the maturity of such vastly depend on a long term systematically scheme as well as the broad education to the general pubic. This study is based on both national and international related literature survey and the observations from the local experts with references to our internal assignment¡Xthe Green Island Coastal Highway. Its goal is to provide an alternative opinions and inspection on such project.

The aim of the thesis is to revive the former textile factory complex, which is located on a unique place - on the island between the river Svitava and the race. The main idea is to make the area accessible and to use its potential, focusing primarily on the link of history, identity of the place, quality public space and the functional content of the whole area. The concept of the whole work is the planning in time and the gradual phase of integrating brownfields back into the lives of not only local Brno citizens. The island in Obřany could thus become the heart of this city district, a meeting place with a rich cultural life, a space for relaxation, activities and leisure activities close to nature in a charming environment with a touch of Brno's industrial history.
