After many years of public consultations in Poland, in October 2015, the government adopted a document called the National Urban Policy and the Polish parliament passed a law on the revitalization. The adopted solutions pointed to the directions of further development of cities n Poland and the fundamental role of revitalization in the state's housing policy. These solutions remained consistent with the European policy for integrated urban development and integrated urban revitalization. In the year of 2015 the new government has announced numerous, but also long-awaited, social reforms. Among them, one points to deep reforms of he state's housing policy. The new Polish government has accepted on September 27, 2016 a document called the National Housing Program. There were also adopted legal Acts to facilitate large-scale new housing projects. The article looks for an answer to the question about the position of revitalization in the current urban policy in Poland on the example of one of the largest cities in Poland, i.e., a post-industrial city of Łódź with over 600,000 inhabitants. The interdisciplinary studies presented in this article were based on Polish and EU legal acts and strategic local and national documents. They were carried out by using the comparative and dogmatic methods. The article points out that existing assumptions of revitalization remain inconsistent with the development of new housing policy in Poland. Authors set the direction of he proposed legal changes so that the revitalization processes do not slow down, and many years of legislative work on revitalization are not wasted.
