| Popis: | This paper summarizes one of the fields of research carried out over more than ten years, focusing on the origins, valorization, and revitalization of large-scale complexes of housing estates from the second part of the twentieth century, conducted in several European countries. Large housing estates, usually erected in edge areas, were an answer to the post-war spatial and functional reality of towns and cities. Housing complexes, built in prefabricated technologies, became a significant component of their spatial structure in the second half of the twentieth century, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, where war damage was the greatest and the communist regime promoted cheap and effective housing solutions. Despite the fact that some architectural structures from that time are under statutory protection, the urban thought from that period, and housing estates in particular, are not sufficiently protected in Poland. On the example of housing estates located in Cracow, this paper highlights the need to protect valuable achievements of urban planning from the period of Late Modernism (also referred to as Socialist Modernism). |
