Large housing estates are the areas populated by 7–8 millions of Poles. The degree of technical and social degradation of large-panel housing complexes is rather low. Crime rate, poverty and unemployment in such complexes are often lower than the respective average urban indicators. We do not have a tool for analyzing inner-city diversities. The use of the inner-city component of the Urban Audit of Sub-city Districts (Audyt Miejski SCD PL) will allow us to estimate the scale of degradation in particular urban districts, utilizing the methodology which is standardized for the whole country. The SCD PL Urban Audit to be repeated regularly will become a tool of monitoring changes, including the revitalization programme effects.
