Abstract
The social dimension of urban planning as well as the importance of local communities and civic participation are often underlined in contemporary urban renewal and revitalisation programmes based on the principles of sustainable development. British Urban Renaissance is one the most far-reaching and widely discussed urban regeneration strategies which aims at repopulation and social diversification of inner city areas and land and building recycling. As a part of this programme some cities started to introduce at a large scale student accommodation in formerly vacant buildings. The phenomenon of student population growth, often referred to as studentification, can lead to significant transformation of urban structure and pose a serious threat to the sustainable development, especially in its spatial and social dimension. The aim of this article is to review some of the current research on studentification and to present initial observations in two cities – Bristol and Gdańsk where student population is significant in comparison to the number of city residents. The discussion will be followed by outlines for further research and urban analysis.
