The subject of a paper is connected with art in public space as an element of shaping identity of a place. This issue is related to finding out new and effective urban regeneration’s tools, rebuilding the identity of degraded areas by art. In the article, the idea of an American “creative placemaking” is presented and compared with polish urban regeneration case study. The specific issues discussed in the article are: the role of creative placemaking in shaping urban environment and selected revitalization’s projects of public spaces with the participation of art such as Project Raw Houses in Huston, Texas and the art project Galeria Zewnętrzna in Dolne Miasto, Gdańsk. The research attempts to answer the question whether art really has an impact on shaping the identity of a place and if contemporary artistic activities (in particular “site specific” art) are effective tools for revitalization in polish conditions.
