 abstract={According to the concept of sustainable urban planning, cities need a diverse and rich urban life and should consider social, cultural, economic, and ecological dimensions. As a result of joining the European Union, Polish cities and towns have faced a tremendous opportunity to improve living conditions and mitigate existing spatial conflicts. The greatest hopes for the renewal of small towns in Poland are associated with urban revitalization programmes in conjunction with the priorities of the ‘new’ spatial planning, where, as in EU countries, the most important are: care for the environment, sustainable development, and the protection and creation of jobs (Skalski, 2006, p. 10). This paper presents a proposal for transformations of the historical centre of Góra Kalwaria, in terms of sustainable development, with respect for the identity of the place, so that the historical centre unites the local community and becomes a place of integration for residents. During the work, available source materials (cartographic and planning sources) were analysed, an urban and photographic inventory was conducted, and then a research problem related to the transformation of the historic center of a small town towards pro-climate solutions was defined. In line with the trends of sustainable urbanism, projects are being implemented modernization of land use and street infrastructure, creation of new recreational zones enabling interpersonal contacts, complete or partial exclusion of car traffic, and a return to the urban shopping street and active ground floors.},
