Summary/Abstract: Guideline of Ministry of Regional Development on housing have created the potential conditions for implementation of regeneration projects in the areas of housing, co-financed from the EU funds. The inadequacy of the detailed provisions of these guidelines in relation to the definitional understanding of revitalization and the limited data aggregation of Polish official statistics caused the deficiencies in determining degraded areas. The result was the implementation of repair or modernization projects mainly. Set criteria for determining degraded areas, by using inappropriate reference (in relation to regional indicators) have resulted in the exclusion of many urban territories from revitalization activities financed from the EU sources. The content of this article is to present and evaluate these criteria, their impact on the way of the delimitation of the areas and the conclusions suggesting necessary changes in these guidelines.
