Abstract

Joining the European Union has had a significant impact on the process of urban regeneration in Poland. In 2004–2006, the funds have been launched in the framework of the Integrated Regional Operational Programme to support the recovery of degraded areas. In the next programming period 2007–2013, the amount of resources available for action in this respect, included in the Regional Operational Programmes, many times increased. As a result, after 2004 in many cities in Poland revitalization has become an important part of development programming.The impact of European funds relates primarily to the following aspects:1. The development of local regeneration programs and the inclusion of renewal of degraded areas to the urban development strategy.2. The creation of organizational units within the municipal offices responsible for the revitalization and presidents appoint proxies for the revitalization.3. Obtaining EU funds for revitalization, while involving funds from the budgets of cities, as well as measures of private entrepreneurs,4. The involvement of residents, associations and non-governmental organizations in regeneration activities.This article aims to analyze the impact of the above areas in the seven largest cities in Poland: Warsaw, Krakow, Lodz, Wroclaw, Poznan, Gdansk and Szczecin.
