Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article it to present the needs of residents as regards creating community spaces within urban regeneration areas. Using the example of Wloclawek, I indicate how it is possible to create ideas for developing yards together with local people, so that they become a place where residents integrate, spend time together and pursue community relations. The results of surveys presented in the article may constitute a starting point for a broader discussion concerning the role of community spaces in recovering degraded areas from crisis as well as an inspiration for officials coordinating urban regeneration processes particularly as regards considering the opinions of prospective users within the implemented concepts of changes.
