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.

The article presents selected issues of the problem of NIMBY-type conflicts. These are conflicts arising from the opposition of local communities to the location, in the vicinity of their place of residence, of investments perceived by them as a nuisance. A spatial picture of the occurrence of conflicts in Poland (excluding large and medium-sized cities) is presented, resulting from a search of press archives (regional and local press) conducted for the period January 2007 – March 2014.

Janusz I Starszy (c.1346-1429), was one of the most prominent Mazovian princes, with a very good reputation in the Chronicle of Jan Długosz. Therefore, local authorities, looking for a local historical figure worthy of commemoration, sometimes decide on Prince Janusz the Elder.

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 publication draws attention to the possibility of taking up and conducting architectural activity in the form of a partnership due to its peculiarities. This type of partnership is designed for the practice of liberal professions. With the practice of a liberal profession (including the profession of an architect) is associated with the risk of making a mistake “in the art” and, consequently, the obligation of compensation, which is a liability of the partnership.
