As a process of social revival and spatial renewal, revitalisation expresses disagreement with the current state of affairs, offering a programme of recovery. In the light of this it is necessary to ask the following questions: Is revitalisation possible? Can it be implemented as a programme of an ideal city, or is it simply utopian thinking? The author is trying to answer these questions by analysing revitalisation practices implemented in five cities in Poland: Kraków, Łódź, Wrocław, Poznań and Gdańsk (Warsaw was not included in this study due to differences in its administration system).
