Summary/Abstract: Nadodrze is one of Wroclaw’s inner-city neighborhoods where many activities have been carried out since 2009 to revitalize the area. There were a number of reasons why Nadodrze was established as an area requiring support. These include mostly weak neighborly relations, hidden problems (family pathologies, domestic violence), high unemployment rates, spatial-functional maladjustment for disabled people, crime and vandalism. The costs related to the current rehabilitation activities are estimated at PLN 140.5 million. The area associated until the start of the program with disintegrating tenement houses, poverty and the phenomenon of social pathology is increasingly portrayed as a craft and artistic district. Due to long-term interventions connected with the renewal of this place, it was decided to analyze how the social practices of the inhabitants of the Nadodrze are developing. The subject of the analysis was the activity of the population of Nadodrze at their place of residence. The analysis was made on the basis of the research carried out as part of the Functional Analysis of the Housing Estate of Wroclaw – a scientific project that concentrated on carrying out broad, comprehensive, interdisciplinary research aimed at developing a description of Wroclaw settlements based on social, spatial and analytical components.
