Localism in the revitalization process. Example of the Fuzja complex in Łódź

The paper presents deliberations on the observed evolution of the process of urban regeneration of degraded urban areas. In addition to the common formula of transformations, which result in the creation of multifunctional, representative public space zones, more and more often activities leading to the creation of intimate areas of local importance are taking place in underserved areas. The resulting new enclaves with diversified functional structures are an interesting example of integrative urban regeneration aimed at achieving a high quality of life for residents and stabilizing the comfort of using space. The presented approach is illustrated by field research carried out in 2019, 2021 and 2022 in the Fuzja complex in Łódź, located in the successively revitalized former Karol Scheibler factory complex.
