The Lower Vitkovice industrial complex in Ostrava, Czech Republic, is undergoing a remarkable transformation from its industrial past to a hub of culture, education, and technology. Initially established in 1828 as a metallurgical plant, the complex played a vital role in supplying materials during World Wars I and II. After its closure in 1998 due to environmental concerns, Jan Svetlik spearheaded its revival in 2010, aiming to preserve its heritage. The complex, now jointly owned by Svetlik, a non-governmental organization, and the city, showcases a unique partnership model driving its success. Renovated structures like the Gong Hall and Bolt Tower offer modern amenities while retaining historical significance. The complex includes a science and technology center, a mining museum, and cultural spaces like Heligonka. Future plans include the 'City within a City' residential district and the innovative 'Hydrogen City' project, emphasizing sustainability and cutting-edge energy solutions.
