Extreme weather events pose a serious threat for human health, infrastructure and resources. This is especially in urban areas. Moreover, extreme meteorological events are projected to increase in their intensity and to become more frequent. In Poland several occurrence of heavy rainfall, strong winds and heat waves, bringing losses and even harming people, have been reported in recent years. At the same time vulnerable urban areas are undergoing revitalization investments. These are significantly changing the surface, sometimes transforming the function of modernized areas. The aim of the paper is to is to verify land use changes resulting from revitalization activities and to analyze how whether extreme meteorological events and adaptation to climatic hazards are taken into account during the decision-making processes on implementation of the revitalization activities. The study is conducted as geospatial analysis, as well as qualitative comparative analysis of six case studies of Polish towns and two Chinese cities. The researched cases were selected on the basis of availability of proper quality meteorological data, previous experiences with extreme weather events, as well as on the information on realized revitalization processes. An analysis of changes in the surface due to revitalization investments and decision-making processes within institutions involved in local risk management in the context of extreme meteorological events, as well as decision-making regarding revitalization activities, is conducted. These information are obtained through in-depth interviews with local key stakeholders. One can conclude that as far as the problem is recognized, the attitude to use revitalization as an opportunity to implement adaptation to climate change measures, is still mostly in the discursive level.
