“…Probably this approach to choosing the criteria is more appropriate than the right choice from among the various methods used. Migoń and Pijet-Migoń (2017) note that the methods they are discussing Cendrero 2005, 2009;Pereira et al 2007;Reynard 2009;Brilha 2016;kubaliková and kirchner 2016;Reynard et al 2016), concentrate mainly on 1 -the scientific value of a site, 2 -its educational potential, and 3 -accessibility, and refer to geological and geomorphological features. These authors develop the concept of the geosites assessment concerning viewpoints, paying attention to the role of geodiversity in the context of ollier's (2012) opinion.…”

“…Undoubtedly, this situation can be met by the existing geosites of Poznań depicting erratic boulders. on the other hand, for the majority of geosites, Migoń and Pijet-Migoń (2017) attach importance to observation points which show the panoramic scenery of a given place/landscape.…”

“…By analysing the views presented by kubaliková (2013), Štrba et al (2014) and Migoń and Pijet-Migoń (2017), it is hard to find the best evaluation method of geosites. Considering the objectives of this article, the methods developed by Pica et al (2014Pica et al ( , 2017 need thinking, because they concern urban geosites.…”

Poznań, a city in central-western Poland, is located in the lowland region but has no less attractive geomorphological and human history. It was here that Poland was born at the end of the tenth century. The city's location is connected with the meridian course of the Warta River valley. In contrast, in the northern part of the city, there is a vast area of the frontal moraines of the Poznań Phase of the Weichselian Glaciation. Against the backdrop of the geomorphological development of the city, the article presents the existing geosites, classified as urban geosites. The present geosites include three lapidaries with Scandinavian postglacial erratics, one of them also with stoneware, a fragment of a frontal push moraine and impact craters. Besides, three locations of proposed geosites with rich geomorphological and/or human history were identified. These are as follows: the peat bog located in the northern part of the city, defence ramparts as exhumed anthropogenic forms, and the Warta River valley. The existing and proposed geosites in Poznań were evaluated in three ways. In general, it should be assumed that the proposed new geosites are higher ranked than the current ones.

“…Also natural subsidence due to dissolution processes in soluble rocks, such as limestone, dolostone or travertine, may create hazardous situations in cities. In highly urbanized areas natural sinkholes are often buried by anthropogenic deposits and infrastructures creating situations of acute risk due to the invisibility of process activity at the surface (Billi et al 2016 (Migoń, Pijet-Migoń 2017). In contrast, valleys and ravines are generally used for industrial purposes, to take advantage of hydraulic power.…”

Urbanization is a global phenomenon and currently more than half of the world's population lives in urban areas. Studies on geomorphological heritage and the development of specific methods of investigation (assessment, inventories, cartography) are, however, relatively rare and limited. This paper first describes the relationships between urbanization and geomorphology. Secondly, it presents an overview of the main works on the urban geomorphological heritage. Then, the main methods of investigation are presented. Finally, we discuss the challenging issues concerning the protection and the promotion of the urban geomorphological heritage.
