(in Polish) Urban renewal processes 4208-Urp-OG
The course will cover the following issues:
1. Analysis of phenomena leading to degradation of cities.

3. Evolution, definition of concepts and their identification on selected examples (inter alia, conservation, restoration, reconstruction, regeneration, modernization, revitalization, and renewal).
4. Relations between social, spatial and economic processes of urban renewal.
5. Practices and principles of revitalization processes.
6. Pitfalls and problems of urban renewal.
The classes are open to students from a wide range of backgrounds, including social sciences, economics, natural sciences, and the humanities.
