Abstract

The mining industry located in the Mecsek Hills has played a decisive role in the life of Pécs, which developed into an industrial settlement in the 19th century. Although the extraction of raw materials was discontinued in the last Pécs mine in 2004, the mining industry as a mental and built heritage still remains. Smaller estates, characteristic colonies of the early years of mining, have been significantly re-evaluated. The parts of the city built near the previous workplaces, far from the center, serve as the residence of people with the lowest income. The majority of approximately 4 000 municipal rental-housing units belong to this type of environment. Therefore, the future of the former mining colonies is crucial for the local government.
