This paper presents results of the research focused on architectural and economic valuation of the housing estate´s modernistic urban structure transformation in Prague - Modřany. Modernistic housing estates in Europe are considered as urban entities that present higher social segregation, anonymity and lower quality of living space. Many housing estates in Western Europe have already been renovated and transformed. In the Czech Republic, revitalizations are often conserving current state without analysing the benefits of this complex transformation. One third of Czech population lives in modernistic housing estates. The quality of environment and public spaces are perceived to be worse comparing to other urban structures. Public spaces account for 70 % of the housing estate´s total area, being one of the main factors that effects the use and non-use value of this space. Main problems are lack of parking spaces, recreational activities, safety, social segregation and the image of the location. This paper introduce a method that helps to detect willingness of people living in these areas to participate financially in the transformations and lists the benefits, value, and quality of changes and shows the possibilities of a financial model that integrates the local people, housing associations, groups of investors and the public sector.
