Summary/Abstract: Motives: The article presents examples of settlements with various possibilities of mitigating the effectsof climate change. The analyses (involving a case study) were presented for ten selected housing estatesin Poznań in terms of compensating for the effects of climate change.Aim: The aim of the study was to analyze the possibilities of health-promoting transformationof urban systems on selected examples of housing estates in Poznań. They were characterized in termsof important features that provided a basis for developing green growth indicators. The studied estateswere then ranked using the linear ordering method.Results: The results indicate that the examples of housing estates from the mid- and late twentiethcentury selected for the analysis have a much higher share of green areas and a much greater potentialto mitigate the negative effects of climate change than contemporary housing estates. This hypothesiswas partially verified by analyzing the possibilities of air filtration through the green wall systemin one of the housing estates.
