  • St. John's Cathedral Wrocław
    St. John’s Cathedral Wrocław The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Wrocław, (Polish: Archikatedra św. Jana Chrzciciela, German: Breslauer Dom, Kathedrale St. Johannes des Täufers), is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Wrocław and a landmark of the city of Wrocław in Poland. The cathedral, located in the Ostrów Tumski district, is a Gothic church with Neo-Gothic additions. The current standing cathedral is the fourth church to have been built on the site. The cathedral was almost entirely destroyed (about 70% of the construction) during the Siege of Breslau and heavy bombing by the Red Army in the last days of World War II. Parts of the interior fittings were saved and are now on display at the National Museum in Warsaw. The initial reconstruction of the church lasted until 1951, when it was reconsecrated by Archbishop Stefan Wyszyński. In the following years, additional aspects were rebuilt and renovated. The original, conical shape of the towers was restored only in 1991. Wroclaw Town Hall The Old Town Hall (Polish: Stary Ratusz) of Wroclaw stands at the center of the city’s Market Square (rynek). Wroclaw is the largest city in western Poland and isthe site of many beautiful buildings. The Old Town Hall's long history reflects the developments that have taken place in the city over time since its initial construction. The town hall serves the city of Wroclaw and is used for civic and cultural events such as concerts held in its Great Hall. In addition to a concert hall, it houses a museum and a basement restaurant.

The work includes references to the basic programme documents and strategies. It shows regeneration activities carried out in Wrocław in connection with the organization of international events, cultural and sport events, and with the improvement of spatial order. These actions contributed to the revitalization of the image of the city. The paper contains the results of these changes, the complementarity of decisions and their impact on social behaviour.

THESIS Revitalisation programmes have become a tool of socio - spatial transformations of a city, its most devastated and impoverished areas, as well as neglected historic buildings and sites; they were developed in parallel with visions of Wrocław development as a open, metropolitan city which cooperates with the region and plays a significant role in the country and Europe. The implementation of revitalization programmes is a long-term, multi-faceted and mutable activity, planned for many years. After a dozen years of intensive revitalization activities, a number of investments were realised, which contributed to a new quality of residents' lives and Wroclaw's built-up area. 1 Corresponding author: Wrocław University of Technology, Faculty of Architecture, B.
