The Challenges of Urban Space Revitalisation. Revitalisation of a Selected Area of the Słoneczne Wzgórze Housing Estate in Kielce based on the Example of a Student Project

The revitalisation of degraded areas is a multi-stage process that requires the involvement of the public, local authorities and often large financial resources. In Poland’s large cities, the revitalisation process mainly focuses on revitalising deserted inner cities and the city’s main representative spaces, while other smaller spaces, marginalised areas or spaces in housing estates remain forgotten. The problem of revitalisation is shaping up similarly in smaller urban centres.

The paper shows a selected student revitalisation project, carried out as part of the Revitalisation of the Urbanised Environment course by students of Architecture at the Kielce University of Technology.
