is needed in Sosnowiec grand, representative Downtown.
Polish cities are mostly gray and bland. Whether the city is considered be nice or ugly, that is, decide its exact center of Downtown. Thinking of Krakow, the first thing that arises is a proven market of the Cloth Hall, the Wawel Castle and make those places that Krakow is perceived as an attractive town with interesting architecture. NH estates but cover a much larger surface area no one takes into account.
Sosnowiec should seek to rebuild its downtown in order to meet the expectations and ambitions of the residents. Unfortunately, the "modernization of the center, which happened some time ago has not fulfilled these expectations and has not improved significantly the image of S-ca. Big sheds pleasant to the eye before the lump station, which happened after that modernization occurred even disfiguring and not decorated, like the controversy raises a "hole" in an old pan.
current center of Sosnowiec was formed about 100 years ago, and everything that came into being there in the PRL only disrupted the architectural order of the place. 10-storey blocks, Sesame, demolition of the House of Savoy Four Merchants and meant that the area has lost much of its original character. In the PRL and quickly built a lot but it is just as well without paying attention to aesthetics. Worse, the attractive and historic buildings were often carelessly destroyed. Today the city bear the consequences but just complaining will not bring improvement, you need to decide on reconstruction and Sosnowiec more attractive, even though it would be a task for several decades.

lot can (and should) improved by ad hoc actions and repairs - self-renewal of the facade of houses in the very center to improve its appearance. It is, moreover, from year to take place gradually but still a lot to be done. City residents are well aware that what is now a yet not what it should be. The forum-sosnowiec.pl appeared throughout an extensive thread about the revitalization and more attractive to certain areas of the city, but may need to go one step further and plan the construction of a quarter, even from scratch. So there is no let up appears - first on the drawing boardsplanners and architects and then it would be implemented gradually.
habits from the old saying that aesthetics is of little significance should once and for all disappear from the mentality of decision makers. Existing local government S-ca, moreover, do not have any vision for the development of that and not just in terms of improving its image. What they're doing is just the administration and duration of the seats on the term of office, and on allegations that not much has changed is always an answer - no money (and the ideas and the desire to have some men councilors?). It would be better for the city government had indeed unrealistic ideas for improvement which ultimately implemented by 20% than as now there is no excuse, and doing nothing, arguing that they "can not be."
If 30 years ago you could build a huge housing estate, large areas spychaczami compete and create it from scratch today and why you can not do with us A real market? After all, in comparison with what was built even earlier micro-scale, requiring much smaller volumes. Decide to designate a place to announce a competition, give a public presentation and project evaluation, and then gradually implement the year. At the end of the S-end of the area which will rise to all of this city and they will associate the positive associations and not bland like now. That much can be done if the government is operating proves even the example of 30-thousand. Luboń: plans to build a new city center.
Without modern office buildings, comfortable hotels, convention centers, etc.. Pine will be adjacent suburbs, not very attractive Katowice.
should also rebuild the street, May 3 (but not only them) removing everything and replacing worthless interesting projects, which are well fit in this region. But the worst of what happened to Sosnowiec to "overcome" by the blocks of downtown Pilsudski Street - if it was not there today, they would be quite consistent with a single large area of \u200b\u200bbuildings (houses) and only sufficient to build a proven the Market Square and gradually renovate various quarters. "City" of modern architecture, higher buildings (though not necessarily, for example, London has a rather low development) might arise while on the other side of the station, the street Kilinski. None of these issues not previously thought and probably still do not mind. You need a long-term development plan of urban space - a plan for a period of about 20-50 years to be a guarantee that the city will develop in the right direction.This topic is a critical look at the current state, but that was not the only criticize, I would say that to me Sosnowiec is well liked and now. There are many interesting places and you can enjoy the city. Some time ago I met a Japanese viewers facades of houses in the center and clearly liked them (maybe they thought that they were 400 years?), An acquaintance from Myslowice stated that he likes coming to the S-ca for shopping, because there is a late-night traffic on the streets , on the radio a student who wandered up here from Wroclaw also said that he is quite happy, which even provoked a reporter to ask: "Really? in comparison with the beautiful Wroclaw?". Well, but anyway let's say a straight - Downtown needs to be developed. At the moment there is a clear-cut, the magnificent center of the city would be associated, and through the prism of which would be seen. You have to create them, and what is valuable now, more visible through the reconstruction of certain passages, and removal of spoils what order.
Main Market Square, a place where everyone associated with this city and a place frequented by tourists.
Improve downtown appearance and attractive (and more cities - because the districts, they should be continuously renewed) is not just about aesthetics but also tangible financial benefits for Sosnowiec. Tourism is an economic sector that is growing very rapidly and that many cities are very rich. If the present trend continues it in 2008, Krakow, you may visit approximately 10 million. tourists, including many from abroad. The city has about 100 hotels, have emerged and new facilities and infrastructure geared to handle more and more visitors. And how is it with us?Sosnowiec, Katowice and other nearby cities on a large number of foreign tourists have yet to count and not likely to in the coming years, something in that regard changed for the better (if at all ever). Instead, he is something like what might be called "tourism" within the conurbation. A person riding from Zabrze to Katowice and Sosnowiec and leaving the money there (in cafes, clubs, shops, cinemas, service facilities, etc..) Is such a "domestic tourists, and as the area was home to about 2 million. people so it is worth fighting for. The future has as Silesia Katowicom assist in the creation as the Super-center, where the investment and download the revitalization of that city at the expense of the surrounding urban development. People always go where there is something attractive, even if it is on. People coming from abroad (business) also will choose a good class hotels, restaurants and entertainment facilities of the child in mundane places.
therefore continuous to talk about cooperation with Katowice, collaboration, partnership development, etc. in which the slogans even specialize sosnowieccy politicians, it is just naivete on their part because there for years takes more competition for resources and internal resources of the conurbation rather than no cooperation. If the rise in Sosnowiec, a good class hotel, it takes customers Katowice hotels, like many other investments. From the standpoint of the interests Katowice, so it would be best in Sosnowiec were only blocks - bedrooms, but everything else including work places should be established mainly in the K-Cache. When the local government will be fully perceived to Sosnowiec? Now, everything is to give the city it became a district of Katowice, if not formally then at least economically, and economically. Decisions as to have already been taken, just read the articles in the local add-GW where the Silesian politicized journalists prowling for agitating visions, and Silesia, while the same additive appear almost exclusively articles and remodeling projects Katowice (Katowice is, Katowice other thing ..... .) Other cities are not entirely be of interest and concern "Silesian" Elections - very symptomatic and giving food for thought.
Schön Palace - today little is being built in this style, but the city should force the investors to carry out the objects you want to meet high standards in terms of aesthetic appearance.
problem more attractive downtown is not a problem specific to Sosnowiec. Practically, most Polish cities in this area has a lot to improve, but because of the size of the city, fitting to the S-cu activities These were particularly intense. Dąbrowa also should have a real downtown. Oak is a city very much sectorally, with green neighborhoods, lakes, and therefore has great potential. City Centre, however, leaves much to be desired and it is clear that local government Dabrowa like those from Sosnowiec they had no idea "of the city." The DG was not so long ago along the main streets was a lot of space and vacancies, unfortunately, everyone who sold lots near the main roads and petrol stations were created (!), Some cheap pavilions, booths with glass and aluminum in general ... chaos combined with a lack of concern for aesthetics. Curiosity was the location of the Municipal Office of Border Street - after UM could contribute to the revitalization of the surrounding streets, should be next to the shops and various service facilities, while the Authority was "in the boxes."attractive cities are usually wide streets, lots of greenery (including conifers that grow quickly and are very decorative), stately buildings in bright colors, pleasant, spacious squares, modern architecture and well in their blends with older neighborhoods in the area of \u200b\u200bcreating a cohesive where you live comfortably. In this direction the development should go Dabrowski towns in the region. Narrow buildings with any project which is a feature of urban slums and poor third world countries, where aesthetics loses poverty.
