Since the dawn of civilization, man – homo constructor – has intuitively sought to transform his surroundings and order them according to a sense known to himself, in a more or less permanent way. In this activity, not only great buildings, but even the least permanent human works, become, in a certain space of time, a trace – a signature of creative actions. The article contains a historical outline of the Romanesque rotunda – a special element in the space of the cultural landscape of the Tumskie Hill in Plock, which remains not only as a trace in the programmatic plane of the place, but today is a real trace – a symbolically marked place of its existence.

This article is the first part of a study of the economy of Mazovia over the past century. It presents the processes and phenomena that shaped and determined the structure of the region’s economy during the Second Republic with an indication of the historical legacy, especially the industrialization and modernization processes of the late 19th century, which had a fundamental impact on the structure of Mazovia’s economy in the interwar period.

The article is an attempt to analyze the activities of museum institutions, their evolution and the role they have played throughout history. It touches on issues concerning their origins dating back to ancient times, up to the present – breaking the stereotypical structures, forms and functions of these institutions. In it, I would like to emphasize the need to continuously educate the public at such a level that it can assimilate the ambitious offer addressed to us by museum units, and at the same time introduce the aspect of innovative projects aimed at narrow groups of dysfunctional people. I was inspired by the activities of the Królikarnia Museum, which is a branch of the National Museum in Warsaw.

The purpose of the article is to present the European NUTS classification and its relevance to the Mazowieckie Voivodeship. In view of the new statistical division, Mazovia faces the challenge of increasing the sustainability of development policy with the assumption of “territorial cohesion, understood as the reduction of development disproportions in the Mazowieckie Voivodeship and the increase in the importance of the Warsaw Metropolitan Area in Europe.”

The port and the city of Gdynia were built because this was the political and economic necessity of the Polish state reborn after World War I. The success of the construction was determined by the determination of the state and the enthusiasm of the citizens, and the construction of Gdynia is the beginning of Poland’s maritime tradition and its modern society. It is also an outstanding example of modernist architecture.

The article presents possibilities for recreational development of former freight railroad stations. Two sites located in central parts of cities are presented as examples: the Park am Gleisdreieck in Berlin and the Spoor Noord in Antwerp. Parks that have been developed on former railroad areas have already become part of the city landscape in a special way, preserving the genius loci they have become a place of recreation, as well as an excellent tourist attraction.

Many large cities have road bypass systems, consisting of at least one outer ring road, most often implemented to highway standard. According to the current National Roads Construction Program (PBDK), the construction of an inner express bypass of Warsaw (EOW) should be completed by the end of 2025, after which the construction of an outer highway bypass with a route pre-determined in the Concept for Spatial Development of the Country (KPZK 2030) could proceed. However, many specialists are not convinced of the need to build such a highway bypass of Warsaw (AOW).
