“…In areas with a high con-centration of deindustrialised cities and towns, specific relations and models of territorial identity have been moulded (Van Houtum & Lagendijk, 2000;Musterd & Van Zelm, 2001). In the case of cities and regions going through economic and social transformation, the issue of collective identification is an increasingly significant accent in projects that involve branding and re-branding their spatial image (Knapp, 1998;Murzyn-Kupisz & Gwosdz, 2011;Goess et al, 2016). Relations between identity and heritage tourism in the post-industrial context play an activating role in the process of cultivating and promoting urban identity, as has been pointed out by Jones and Munday (2001), Ćopić et al (2014), Berger and Pickering (2018), Bosák at el.…”

“…The extended urban area surrounding the city of Katowice is home to 98% of Poland's coal production, accompanied by coal operated power plants, steel manufacturing, and zinc, lead, and silver mining and processing [10]. Historical ly, under Soviet influence after World War II, the region was promoted as 'the industrial heart of Poland' where heavy industry and an industrial working class were to be the foundations of a new socialist Poland [11].…”

“…The evolution of artistic quarters is also visible taking into account the fact that the members of the aspirational creative class perceive artistic spaces in Krakow from the point of view of several distinct, larger areas or quarters which either already fulfil the function of artistic (and entertainment) quarters or are perceived as potential creative areas. In Katowice, on the other hand, a city with a large downtown but without a clearly perceived city centre (Murzyn-Kupisz, Gwosdz, 2011;Bierwiaczonek et al, 2012), and with a much smaller population of artistic students, we may for now speak of an artistic quarter in the rather ambiguously defined central part of the city where cultural life is vibrant in isolated, scattered "pockets" or specific institutions rather than across broader areas (Fig. 2).…”
