Summary/Abstract: The Wiatraczna Roundabout situated in the heart of the Warsaw Grochów despite its interesting location is currently neglected and without its own identity. The purpose of this study is to conduct a research and design analysis of this area and to indicate the major tasks in the field of architecture and city planning which should be implemented, so as to be able to conduct the revitalization of this area. One of the important elements is the construction of the second underground line which can lead to further changes including: the main roads course, elimination of the tram loop, modernization of the existing buildings and elimination of the buildings which do not harmonize with the surroundings. These changes will allow creation of the public spaces, squares, pedestrian ways so that people regain this place again.
