Urban regeneration occupies an increasingly important place in the Polish development policy and cooperation between the state government and cities. Thanks to the support for Polish local governments financed by the 2014-2020 Technical Assistance Operational Programme, more than 1,400 communes in Poland developed regeneration programmes and undertook appropriate activities, mainly in downtown areas. On the other hand the potential of invested and abandoned peripheral areas is rarely perceived and enhanced in the regeneration programmes. The purpose of the article is to present the reasons for ignoring this potential in in-depth diagnoses and to analyse examples of retardation of re-using these areas as a conscious investment strategy for local governments.
