Pułapka gentryfikacji? Związki „uszlachetniania” przestrzeni z programami rewitalizacji polskich miast
A gentrification trap? The relations between „enriching” space and municipal revitalization programmes in Polish cities

Summary/Abstract: The institutionalized revitalization process is an important tool of contemporary Polish public policy. According to the declarations of local authorities, its programmes are designed to support the development of so-called degraded spaces and the effort against social exclusion of their inhabitants. However, as the analysis of municipal revitalization programmes (GPR) in the biggest cities reveals, planned revitalization leads to gentrification of a urbanized area and is therefore more conducive to segregation than to social inclusion. This paper discusses the relationships between revitalization and gentrification on the basis of the content and assumptions of urban regeneration programmes. It is based on the literature and on selected GPRs.
