	Housing estates are an important urban element in many Polish cities. These types of complexes, buildings and spaces do not meet the modern human needs arising from the function of an apartment. The question arises ever so often: should we demolish them and create new ones in their place, or should we renovate them? According to the author of the article, the most appropriate course of action is their renovation. Large-panel housing estates have great opportunities to become a place adapted to the needs of their residents through a series of transformations. In contrast, social and public spaces created through renovation can affect the vitality of the entire city. The author of the article, on the basis of selected large-panel estates in the city of Kielce, will assess the large-panel housing estates as a modern place of residence. She will outline their main strengths and indicate the defects that she thinks should be taken into account during any renovation measures.
