Capitalism has radically changed people's attitudes. A fundamental transformation in the sphere of human values and attitudes, a new attitude towards nature, is causing a change in man today. Man is constantly living in a world of "places". Taking care of the human soul becomes the most urgent issue. Continuous human development is a synthesis of to have or to be[1] the article focuses on the need to improve the quality of many places, the relationship between man and the urban environment. This is to be done by way of increasing and improving the utility, cultural, emotional, aesthetic values of places, creating places that are adaptable, safe, known, and recognized as one’s own – all of this in order to create conditions for human identification with the place, a sense of human responsibility for the environment, to create, in places, a variety of forms of social life, and social activities all of which make it possible to meet people, form opinions, make acquaintances, or carry out tasks. In the places, an important task is to create a "spirit of the place" as a determinant of urban-architectural impressions, by introducing symbols and signs, which are understandable for people living in a given place. The resurgence and rediscovery of values and places – both in the cultural and spatial and social terms – are positive responses to globalisation and unification of space. [1] E.
