9 April 2026, 18.00<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A debate on Dr Joanna Ko\u0142odziej\u2019s book \u201cPanorama of a Historic City: Krak\u00f3w as a Testing Ground\u201d, published as no. 171 in the Krak\u00f3w Library series of The Society of Friends of Krak\u00f3w History and Heritage, and published by Ksi\u0119garnia Akademicka Krak\u00f3w.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting will focus on the dynamic changes taking place in the cityscape of Krak\u00f3w. The discussion will also address the topic of historic city centres, which are becoming laboratories for contemporary tensions between expansion and conservation, as well as between community and the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book\u2019s author, Dr Joanna Ko\u0142odziej, Dr Andrzej Siwek, Konrad My\u015blik and the discussion\u2019s moderator, Professor Jacek Purchla, will discuss how to protect the historic urban fabric and reconcile its existence with the development and expansion of urban centres. The invited guests will also discuss investment pressures and the controversy surrounding the city\u2019s metropolitan function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Joanna Ko\u0142odziej\u2019s publication offers a portrait of the city during a period of economic and political transition, highlighting the uncontrolled changes currently taking place in its appearance \u2014 particularly its city skyline \u2014 driven by the pressure of commercial development. The book is based on a doctoral thesis supervised by Prof. Jacek Purchla and defended at the Faculty of History of the Jagiellonian University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
