The aim of this article is to determine whether the modernization activities and investments carried out so far in Wroclaw's large housing estates are heading towards an ecological estate and whether they meet the requirements of sustainable development. The analyses were based on available literature and the author's inventory of housing estates in Wroclaw in terms of technical modernization of buildings and improvement of the functional and spatial program. This paper is a general review and the individual activities are connected to examples from other Polish and European cities, with particular emphasis on energy efficiency, ecology and adaptation of housing estates to contemporary challenges of civilization.

Abstract This article investigates the suitability of traditional and participatory planning approaches in managing the process of spatial development of existing housing estates, based on the case study of Warsaw’s Ursynów Północny district. The basic assumption of the article is that due to lack of government schemes targeted at the restructuring of large housing estates, it is the business environment that drives spatial transformations and through that shapes the development of participation. Consequently the article focuses on the reciprocal relationships between spatial transformations and participatory practices. Analysis of Ursynów Północny against the background of other estates indicates that it presents more endangered qualities than issues to be tackled. Therefore the article focuses on the potential of the housing estate and good practices which can be tracked throughout its lifetime. The paper focuses furthermore on real-life processes, addressing the issue of privatisation, development pressure, formal planning procedures and participatory budgeting. In the conclusion it attempts to interpret the existing spatial structure of the estate as a potential framework for a participatory approach.

In the double biography, the Tauts have their say as brothers, parents and husbands. Letters, diaries and eyewitness reports, drawings and photos from the family album bring two artist personalities to life - and with them the fates of their wives and children. The two talented brothers made careers as architects in Berlin: Bruno (1880–1938) became known as the planner of large housing estates, Max (1884–1967) made a name for himself as an architect of the trade unions. Unda Hörner tells her closely connected life paths as a family story against the background of the Empire, Weimar Republic, Nazi era and the post-war period.
