“…The evidence is often felling trees prior to land development, very little differentiation in the selection of species in the case of park greenery and squares, no reference to contemporary environmental problems (climate change, environmental pollution), no reference to contemporary pro-ecological design (NBS application). There is a need for a different approach to designing public space in towns [70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78]84,120,121].…”

“…Recent trends in revitalization policies take into account the need to apply naturebased solutions [70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78], as critical components of sustainability transitions [71], climate change mitigation, and adaptation strategies [79][80][81][82][83][84], important also for small municipalities [85][86][87][88][89][90]. The benefits of nature-based solutions are still not recognized enough in urban planning policies of cities [74].…”

Revitalization of cities varies depending on the scale of a city, type of challenges, and the socio-environmental context in each case. While revitalization projects carried out in globally known cities are well described, there is still a gap in characterizing revitalization processes that aim to improve quality of life in smaller units like medium-sized towns. This paper fills this gap by the insight from 82 revitalization projects implemented in 14 towns of Warmia and Mazury region (Poland) which are associated in the Cittaslow movement. The study combines a quantitative assessment of statistical data describing these projects with their qualitative evaluation based on interviews with local experts. The results of conducted analyses show that socio-economic development plays a major role as, despite projects which directly refer to the social domain, social elements were found also in projects initially categorized as those targeted to architectural and spatial domains. On the other hand, the authors observed that environmental and ecological as well as cultural issues are treated unevenly or marginally in projects compared to social ones. Interviews with experts show that the least importance was assigned to cultural and historical domain. The obtained results might constitute important knowledge to understand the background of current revitalization processes outside of global metropolises to improve future mechanisms supporting urban renewal.
