Popis The paper deals with the regeneration of the former textile factory for new mixed use. It notices the different types of actors involved in the regeneration process and their different concepts of time. At least three types of actors with a different relation to time can be identified in the regeneration process – NGOs, municipal authorities and private companies. While NGOs are considering and planning time for many years, municipal authorities are planning a four-year plan (election period), private companies are planning time for months. For each of these three actors, the time flows at a different speed. The time of private companies is the most expensive and fastest, the time of city self-government is cheaper and slower, and the time of NGO is voluntary and therefore almost immobile. The different relation to time generates a number of conflicts among the actors of the regeneration process. Rhythmanalysis referring to the work of Henri Lefebvre was used as a theoretical framework that allowed to identify and describe major temporal conflicts in the regeneration process. These conflicts are described in a particular case, the former textile factory in the small town of Ústí nad Orlicí (14 000 inhabitants) in the Czech Republic. The company engaged in the production of cotton fabrics and yarns, flannel, poplin and pyjamas and employed at least one person from each family in the city at the time of its greatest boom. It was privatized in the 1990s and finished its production in 2009.
