- Title

- Abstract
This article describes revitalisation as a form of the contemporary reconstruction and restoration of urban tissue. Advances in social, economic and technical requirements generate adjustments in the architectural and urban layout. These changes result in destructive, regressive and remedial actions, contributing to the complexity of a city as a continuous phenomenon of cumulative transformations. Kupa Street is located in the Kazimierz District of Krakow. Having withstood successive phases of building renovation, this street constitutes an adequate case study for research in architectural and spatial revitalisation. This study includes a literature review, as a theoretical basis for the analysis and conclusions; and a participant observation of the design and development of the location. Moreover, long-term development projects, conservation and planning activities in the Kazimierz District were considered.
