The project is focused on the research of modernist housing estates. The aim of this work is to fill the gap the research topic of housing estates with urban-economic perspective. In the Czech Republic, almost one third of the population lives in housing estates. The undeveloped space of this modernist urban structure occupies approximately 70% of the area, which is essentially also a public space. If we compare it with other types of urban structure, we get result, that public funds must pay more, or reduce care about the public space. The quality and usability of public space has a long-term impact on the social and economic sustainability and stability of this environment. In practice, the main care and investment go to the building, to the facades and externals opening. Main reason is thermal energy properties and end of life of facades. More and more investment are focused to improve the quality of public space, but without conception and often destroys possibility latter conceptual interventions, make it difficult or even impossible. The research is focused on the housing estate as a whole, especially on the open space of this urban structure and tries to evaluate and describe the quality of the built environment. And try to evaluate its possible transformation in selected studies using a calculation model that evaluates costs and benefits. We are focused on the situation in the Czech Republic and compared it with some experience from world. It also analyzes the field of urban economics, which is not so widespread in the Czech Republic. It verifies and applies terminology, shows the studied part of the area of values and quality of public space, built environment. It is inspired by the application of value evaluation methods in other fields, such as ecology, in studies of natural ecosystems, where evaluation methods are often used to translate quality and benefits into the financial plane. The main part of the project SGS is focused on the evaluation method
