Change of functionality, adaptation to the world standards and also influence on the surroundings of such sports facilities all have huge effect on the final outcome of the revitalization.In this paper I will demonstrate some instances of undertakings, which not only have metamorphosed the aesthetics of a given housing estate but also have had a much more deeper influence – through altering the mentality of its inhabitants (i.e. social revitalization), or have contributed to the economic growth of a given city (e.g. Barcelona after the Olympics held in 1992).
