The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate suitability of historic aerial photographs for the identification of urban conservation strategies in Poland after World War II. Legal regulations on heritage protection are discussed and the historic photographs - on which urban spatial structures are visible - are compared with modern aerial photographs. The discussed regulations and their social and political contexts led to identification of several practices. Many ? Some towns were viewed as German heritage. There was also a trend to unify and typify construction projects, to change spatial functions of town parts and to eliminate some elements from the town spatial structure. These practices are illustrated by the cases of Brzeg Dolny, Koźmin Wielkopolski, Lubiąż, Sławno, Ścinawa and Śmigiel. Our studies have affirmed that historic aerial photographs are highly suitable for the recording of landscape changes and activities of institutions responsible for urban heritage. They also demonstrate that there has been no devised model of conservation policy in Poland after World War II. The cultural heritage of every town should be approached on its own terms together with individual decisions taken and their social and political contexts.
