Problemy rewitalizacji obszarów zdegradowanych małych miast na przykładzie miasta Radzionków
Problems related to the revitalization of degraded areas of small towns illustrated on the example of Radzionków

Summary/Abstract: The surroundings of enterprises are becoming more and more evolutionary, the life of products is shortening, and as a consequence of the implementation of innovative projects new products, which often satisfy customers’ requirements in a better way and which are produced at a lower cost and offered at a lower price, appear on the market. Changes of the surroundings have also a great impact on the decisions made by local self-governments. Nowadays, towns are units capable of deciding on their own future because they are, to a lesser extent than in the past, subject to central authorities and decisions. Not only are they given the responsibility to satisfy current social needs but also the rights to decide on the directions of local economic development. After presenting Radzionków and changes which have recently taken place in its surroundings, the article presents the programme of revitalization of its degraded areas as well as the analysis of the content of the programme in the context of the proposed solutions to potential problems related to the revitalization of degraded areas which may be applied in other towns.
