The new XVII volume of “Annales Universitatis Pedagogicae Cracoviensis. Studia de Arte et Educatione,” has been dedicated to the relationship between contemporary art and urban space. Aware of the dynamics of revitalization processes, which we understand according to Polish legislation as the process of bringing degraded areas out of crisis through integrated actions and for the benefit of the local community, space, and economy, we would like to focus on the architectural, social and economic aspects of these processes. However, due to the nature of the discipline we represent, we want to emphasize the presence of artists and curators in these activities.
