“…The question about the actual city centre of Gdańsk continuously remained open (Lorens, 2019). The processes of increasing market freedom opened the areas of the central islands-Wyspa Spichrzów (Granary Island) and Ołowianka-as the most desirable development areas in the city.…”

Cities that show signs of both growth and shrinkage and that nevertheless do survive, show tendencies to be resilient. Their development process can be seen as pulsative. The objective of the paper was to demonstrate the links between spatial development and Gdansk's hydrological layout-pointing out how the city spatial layout of was determined by the context of water. The results of analyses central districts, made it possible to identify three stages of hydrourban evolution: 1) Reconstruction phase (after WW2)-which led to the reinforcement of the east-west development of axis of public space, 2) Transformation phase (after 1989)-which emphasised the new north-south direction of urban development following the freeing up of the riverwater system, and 3) Metamorphosis phase (initiated in 21 st century)-which assumes the expansion of the hydrourban structure, while taking into account the multilayered integration of the spatial and functional aspects of the agglomeration with flood prevention and ecological policy. The study allows to trace the relationship between the physical structure and the hydrological system which have led to the development of a rich hydrourban system configuration. The destruction of historical city centre (during WW2) and the later loss of shipyard areas, which constituted a part of the city's identity, provided space for an urban experiment. The research demonstrates changes in the perception of the role of water system in the urban structure-which can be considered a valuable tool for planners and urban designers, to be used in, meeting demands of resilient cities.

“…Despite the final outcome often being different than stipulated in the ideal model assumptions from reports from many years ago, they have made their mark on the city's current planning documents. Over a decade later, the measures taken to transform Gda ńsk's central, post-industrial zone have their own dedicated and perfect academic documentation [70][71][72].…”

New Housing Complexes in Post-Industrial Areas in City Centres in Poland Versus Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection—With a Particular Focus on Cracow

The cityscape changes constantly, reflecting the socio-economic conditions of a given urbanised area—both globally and in any given country. Post-industrial buildings and complexes have been its important elements since the nineteenth century. At present, many of them are undergoing adaptive reuse. The oldest, which are parts of post-industrial heritage and define the local identity, are now located in city centres. Some are revitalised and often adapted into multi-family housing. This paper fills a gap in the research on revitalised areas in Polish city centres, especially the ones converted into housing. It notes the links between these projects with elements of urban green-blue infrastructure, as well as the methods of protection of the reused postindustrial heritage. Studies from 2000–2020 on Polish multi-family housing architecture prove that the quality of buildings and semi-public green spaces is becoming increasingly important to developers and buyers. Properly used and exposed post-industrial heritage can contribute to raising the attractiveness of such spaces. In combination with city greenery systems, they can form attractive townscape sequences, as proven by Cracow cases. The paper’s conclusions indicate that the preservation and exposition of post-industrial heritage in newly built housing complexes is affected by numerous factors. The most important of these are legal determinants based on both state-level and local law. Economic factors also play a major role, as they directly affect projects. The skills and talent of designers who can create unique proposals that expose surviving relicts and a given place’s genius loci even in the most restrictive of economic and legal conditions, are also not without significance.

“…At present, the final concept has not yet been clarified, although numerous redevelopment projects, based on various aspects of the adaptive reuse concept, are being implemented. Even more projects are still in preparation, including the most discussed master plan for the redevelopment of the historic core of the Imperial Shipyard complex [47]. At the same time, the entire redevelopment process is leading to the reinstatement of the long-forgotten Gda ńsk ring road complex [35].…”

The Gdańsk Shipyard—the birthplace of the Solidarity movement—is host to a unique example of a multi-layered brownfield redevelopment project, an area that is burdened by a complex history, overlapping heritage, and multiple memories. These circumstances require an integrated yet differentiated approach to the site’s heritage and make the creation of one homogeneous narration of its future impossible. At the same time, the size of the area, as well as its location within Gdańsk city centre, has meant that its future has been the subject of numerous discussions and speculations conducted over the last 20 years—starting from the creation of a large-scale open-air museum and continuing to the localization of the new Central Business District of the city. Consequently, that broad discussion carried out regarding the scope of redevelopment projects has been rooted in the possible introduction of diverse models of adaptive reuse. This variety of possible approaches also includes discussion on the mode of integrating heritage in the redevelopment processes. The goal of this paper—written just before the initiation of the final stage of the conceptual part of the project—is to present the complexity of approaches to issues related to redevelopment and heritage preservation.
