Odzyskać miasto. Społeczne aspekty rewitalizacji obszarów poprzemysłowych
Regain the City. Social Aspects of the Revitalisation of Postindustrial Areas

Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the problems of revitalising postindustrial areas and the processes of urban space degradation and regeneration. A small postindustrial town whose natural environment has suffered significant degradation serves as the example the analysis is based upon. There are also additional factors responsible for bringing down the quality of life and reducing the chances for local development, including rising unemployment, the worsening quality of urban potential, and a lack of attractive public spaces. The town population is decreasing due to migration processes and the decreasing birth rate. The main issue taken up in the paper concerns the social aspects of revitalisation processes in Brzeszcze, including the expectations and aspirations of its youngest inhabitants.
