The article discusses the revitalisation of post-industrial areas in Poland, with particular emphasis on Upper Silesia. Using the example of the Queen Louise Adit complex in Zabrze and other sites, it shows how former industrial plants are gaining new functions: tourist, educational, social, and environmental. The researcher points to the changes that have taken place in the approach to industrial heritage – from the demolition of infrastructure to its conscious preservation and adaptation. She also reminds us of the importance of grassroots initiatives, the role of local communities, and the need for revitalisation planning that takes into account environmental and social aspects.
