In 1970-1972 the Monuments Conservation Workshops in Lublin prepared A Perspective Renewal Program and A Local Detailed Plan of Land Development for the Old Town in Lublin. The plans represent a basic tool in carrying out conservation and urban renewal. Background regarding the site is provided, with some buildings dating as far back as the 12th-13th century. Scientific and historic studies were conducted; preliminary reports included a technical condition of the buildings, groundwork and underground outfit. Data on the use of the buildings have been compiled. Guidelines for the project are given. The whole area of the Old Town has been divided into blocks worked up according to the order of questions rendered in full conservation problems; a program for executing the work has been designed.
