Summary/Abstract: The distinctive feature of Łódź is its adaptation of former factory facilities for different purposes: didactic, commercial, office space, residential, hotel, cultural, gastronomic. They have been carried out since the 1890s by both the public and private sectors. The aim of the article is to present the project „Revitalisation of EC1 and its adaptation for cultural and artistic purposes” mentioned above from the perspective of an inhabitant of their immediate surroundings, particularly the impact on their immediate environment. The article presents the results of questionnaire surveys in 2017 on 199 respondents residing within walking distance i.e. up to 500 m from the realized investment. Most of the respondents positively assessed the transformations of EC1. The advantages of the project are the transport accessibility and aesthetics and architectural form of the buildings.
