Abstract
The article focuses on the social and cultural dimension of the process of revitalization and rehabilitation of abandoned and decaying industrial buildings occurring in large numbers in the Upper Silesia conurba-tion. These processes are of increasing importance from the point of view of social change in respect of social structure, as well as in terms of the integrity and identity of local communities living in residential neighborhoods near degenerated areas and industrial buildings. Particularly focused on buildings that are revitalized and rehabilitated are young people who shape social and cultural identity with the local communities and with the region.
