Having its genesis still in the inter-war period housing policy has brought about such a big reduction of rents paid in old houses that it excluded the possibility of their repair from the financial means obtained in this way by both private and municipal owners. Together with destruction and negligence' of the 2nd World War it resulted in a catastrophic state of old housing and forced many European countries to take up broad campaigns aimed at the renewal of historic towns. Poland also faces serious difficulties connected with the restoration of utilitarian and historic values of old buildings. They involve not only high costs of the renewal of historic towns, which have to be borne by local and cultural administrative authorities but also shortages of material as well as performance difficulties including a translocation of inhabitants for the time of repair. This can clearly be seen on the example of works carried out in Cracow, Toruń or in other old towns. Only there where it was possible to concentrate both means and executional potential (e.g. Zamość, Sandomierz) certain concrete effects could be attained. Under the present economic situation in Poland it is not possible for costs of the renewal of historic town buildings to weigh down entirely upon the state budget. One should look for other ways of engaging population’s resources and enabling the people to get a comfortable flat in a relatively short time. This solution requires a number of organizational and economic measures that would facilitate repairs (bank credits, material supplies, et.c.) as well as broad campaigns aimed at the release of people’s own initiative.
