Abstract

The starting point for considerations presented in this paper is to outline the essence of dysfunctional urban areas as development barriers of various types that may need to be demolished as a part of revitalization process. Urban dysfunction can be manifested in the state of disintegration of urban space. In order to verify this thesis, there have been analyzed selected revitalization projects, which included demolitions of morphological elements disintegrating urban space and where green public space was implemented to (re)integrate the city. Based on the research results, it was found that green areas are important structure (re)integrating modern cities. Transportation used lands have the highest susceptibility to this type of radical revitalization projects.
