Revalorization is considered as the initial and main component of the process of restoration, renewal and sustainable development of the historic small town. It is necessary to restore the existing monuments of architectural and urban heritage; correctly adapt them for active modern use; to fill the historic urban environment with various functions; to equip it for long and safe stay; and the most important thing is to save the “spirit of the place” and its atmosphere. As an example, the historic small town of Bar in Vinnytsia region is considered. Its modern direction of development as a cultural, tourist and recreational center is defined. Recommendations on the creation of an attractive urban environment are given and they are considered on the example of the revalorization project of the town historic center.
