The goal of this publication was to critically examine the heritage of Warsaw's housing estates, identifying what has withstood the test of time and can be considered as a model for the design of future estates, and what serves as a warning for how not to design. Inspiration is also drawn from examples of foreign housing estates in cities that, like Warsaw, face the challenges of reurbanization and the best possible use of existing resources.
The publication serves as a reference point for workshops on future locations.
