Rewitalizacja miast w polityce spójności 2004–2006
Revitalization of Polish cities in Cohesion Policy 2004−2006

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses urban renewal projects implemented in Polish cities in the framework of Cohesion Policy 2004−2006. Renewal projects constituted only a small portion of the intervention under the Cohesion Policy programmes in cities. Relatively small outlays and a small number of projects resulted in a clear diffusion of the intervention, which undoubtedly affected the scale of results. Most undertakings classified as renewal projects were not comprehensive, i.e. they did not consist in restructuring of spatial, social and economic structures, but were rather repair and modernization investments. The general influence of the projects classified as renewal projects at the domestic level was small, even though most individual projects had a definitely positive impact on their direct surroundings or even the whole city (especially the projects concerning larger public spaces).
