Summary/Abstract: According to the National Urban Policy 2023, complex urban regeneration in Poland is the most advanced process of transformation, concentrated in degraded areas, resulting in permanent social and economic revitalization, improvement of quality of life and conditions for work and business. A large proportion of mayors and city presidents perceive revitalization as an opportunity to stop or at least reduce a depopulation, due to these changes. Does revitalization really give us this possibility? Is depopulation a phenomenon that can be affected by revitalization activities and is therefore methodologically correct in describing demographic analyzes as negative phenomena? The author tried to answer these questions and to reflect on the evolution of diagnostic methods in the development of revitalization programs.
