Lack of professional standards and conceptual ambiguity of the terms "repair" due to the uncertainty of their methodological principles. The preconditions of the process of renewal of Ukrainian cities and the factors influencing and determining the ways of the renewed component are revealed. Analytical methods of the practical and theoretical basis of a reconstruction of obsolete housing stock are used. Consecutive operations on updating the housing stock are given.

There are the following indicators of the benefits of repair: separation or comparison, depending on the situation, more efficient use of territory and resources; increasing the investment and architectural attractiveness of the environment; extension of housing life; adaptation of the territory with obsolete buildings to the new functional requirements (partially or completely), as well as increasing the comfort of housing. Examples of a complex of repair works on the basis of European countries are given.
