This article presents the opinions of residents of the immediate surroundings of three Brownfield Site Urban Regeneration Projects completed in Łódź (Poland) in the years 2006–2016, i.e. Manufaktura (textile industry facilities transformed into a mall), “Lofts at Scheibler” (a former spinning plant transformed into residential buildings with accompanying services) and EC1 (adaptation of a former EC1 power plant for cultural and educational purposes), and their impact on their immediate environment. The article presents the results of questionnaire surveys conducted by the author in 2017 on 587 respondents residing within a walking distance, i.e. up to 500 m from the above-mentioned investment projects.
The article presents a contemporary, multifaceted analysis of changes occurring in post-industrial sites within Polish cities. The research focuses on the demographic, morphological and functional changes observed in selected brownfields in Wrocław and Kraków. The findings indicate that such areas in large post-socialist cities are currently undergoing a period of intensive transformation, primarily characterised by increased land use intensity and functional changes. To preserve the cultural heritage of these areas, it is essential to continue monitoring these transformations in the future.
