REVITALIZATION OF URBAN AREAS BY MEANS OF EXPO 2022 - THE PROSPECT FOR CITY DEVELOPMENT AS EXEMPLIFIED BY LODZ
Abstract
The years of negligent attitude and scarcity of financial resources at the disposal of local self-governments have intensified the processes leading to the degradation of urban areas. As a result, many cities and towns are not only adversely affected by the deterioration of technical infrastructure but also suffer from the lowering of the standard of living. Therefore, it should be considered necessary to reinvigorate degraded urban areas with the intention to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of revitalized areas, by creating better working and housing conditions as well as more interesting leisure opportunities. One of the cities which has taken up this challenge is Lodz. The paper focuses on the revitalization activities in the city of Lodz in the context of its efforts aimed at organising the International EXPO 2022 Exhibition. The objective of the paper is to highlight revitalization as a tool designed to facilitate the process of recovering from the critical state of degraded areas as well as to emphasise the benefits ensuing from organising international events which in turn affect local development. The research carried out in the paper enables the assessment of the size of the undertaking consisting in organising the EXPO planned by the Lodz authorities as well as the evaluation of potential ensuing benefits.
