The history of Warsaw’s sports facilities is inscribed in the history of the city and is a document of its cultural heritage. For several hundred years, the development of the various sports practiced in Warsaw has been accompanied by investments for sports, the evolution of sports construction is visible. Thus, the history of Warsaw sports architecture covers a period of about seven hundred years: from the Middle Ages to modern times. These were both buildings erected for the needs of major sporting events, such as racetracks and are today’s stadiums, as well as sports facilities accompanying education or daily recreation of city residents.

It remains undisputed that Kazimierz Dolny has special values for culture, and thus meets the requirements for a site wishing to be recognized as a monument of history. Unfortunately, the regulations on the protection of historical monuments: the 1966 and 1983 decisions on entry in the register of historical monuments and the 1994 order of the President of the Republic of Poland on recognition of Kazimierz Dolny as a historical monument raise a number of doubts of a substantive and legal nature – it is not known whether they are in force. Such a situation causes conflicts between a resident of Kazimierz Dolny and the authorities, especially the provincial conservator of monuments.

The authors of the article believe that: the overly complicated methods of determining municipal waste management fee rates adopted in the Law on Maintaining Cleanliness and Order in Municipalities should be abandoned; the simplest and fairest would be to introduce a single fee on each person declaring residence in Poland, and the aforementioned fee can be linked to income tax, for example.

Poland’s main ports are awkwardly located exclusively at either the western or eastern end of the Polish Baltic coast, i.e. at the mouth of the Oder River or in the area of the Vistula’s estuary to the sea, and are about 280-290 km apart in a straight line. It is therefore worth considering the rationale of building a fourth deep-water port, located more or less in the middle between them, i.e. somewhere in central Pomerania, preferably on the stretch of coast between the main cities of this part of Pomerania, between Kołobrzeg and Koszalin.

In 2019 field studies were conducted in order to check how various aspects of pedestrian and cycle crossing infrastructure influence driver behavior. The overall goal was to verify the adequacy of the road safety-related provisions of the main strategic and planning documents of the Mazovia Region. The crossings analyzed in Warsaw and Radom were chosen so as to take into account all the types of traffic calming mentioned in the Spatial Development Plan of Mazovia as serving to improve safety on pedestrian crossings. Other aspects taken into account included road width, type of intersection and presence/type of traffic lights.

Urban renewal issues in France are very often discussed with reference to the demolition or renovation of large-scale housing estates. But these issues also concern former industrial areas which have their own distinct architectural, social, and economic difficulties. This article aims to present analysis of these differences using the example of two case studies in the Lyon metropolitan area, the second largest agglomeration in France.

Although cultural tourism has been known since the very beginning of the European civilisation (the Ancient Greeks and Romans peregrines’), nowadays cultural events are a great attraction not only for a local community, but they are also a strong motivation for tourists to travel. It seems that one of the special research value is to consider how deeply cultural events, connected with ‘high art’ (museums, classical music, art events of superior quality), motivate a local community and tourists.

The Polish government conducts program works on the development of the E40 waterway along the Vistula and the Bug in accordance with the European Agreement on the main inland waterways of international importance (AGN). In light of the current investment practice, there is still a long way to go for the implementation of the E40 waterway in Mazovia, while the current findings of these programs and related study plans are at many points controversial.
