157 nature reserves are situated in different parts of the spatial structure of Polish towns and cities. They were established at different times and often for different reasons than the nature reserves located outside Polish cities. Due to their location, urban reserves are very frequently used similarly to other green open spaces. The aim of this paper is to identify the main protection objectives of nature reserves located in towns and cities in order to find out to what extent their inevitable recreational use results in management problems

The article deals with the use of spatial planning tools serving to improve the quality of space in post-industrial areas along with the possibilities of using modern technologies in the field of renewable energy sources. The analysis was carried out on the example of the Upper Silesian metropolis which occupies about 8% of the region’s area with its distinct industrial and post-industrial areas. The urban area determines the image of a region associated with pollutants and a degraded environment. This is a challenge for planners.

The aim of the paper is to analyze the substance of Polish post-war modernist architecture, their meanings at the moment of their creation, and the way this architecture is understood today. The change in the reception of the legacy of modern constructions erected in the times of the Polish People’s Republic is juxtaposed with theories of value of historic monuments and the theory of postmemory.

The paper discusses three architectural concepts of exposition pavilions authored by Władysław Sowicki. Each of them represents a different style, but all of them follow the design trends of their time. The first one is the Polish pavilion for the 1937 World Expo in Paris, and as such it alludes to the Polish national style. The second one is another Polish pavilion, this time semi-modernist, designed for the 1939 New York World’s Fair.

The goal of the paper is to presents the results of the energy, economic and environmental assessment of biomassfired combined heat and power (BCHP) units cooperating with the district heating system. The mathematical models of both considered BCHP units (with back-pressure and extraction-condensing turbines) have been elaborated and validated with the data from commercially available CHP units.

Digital technologies profoundly influenced social and economic realities, making the world more difficult to govern. These changes reached public administration, including the New Public Management (NPM), a bureaucratic model that evolved from both the new institutional economics and the notion of managerialism, and has been gaining traction in developed countries since the beginning of the 1980s. NPM, which has been based on managerialism, decentralization, de-bureaucratization, privatization and a reduction of size and scope of the administration, passed its peak in the mid-2000s.
