| dc.description.abstract | This paper is about ideas, dreams of Wrocław planners and municipal managers and about what happened as a result of these dreams. It is not a complete review of planning and planning policy implementation in Wrocław, but only of selected ideas. Thus the paper is divided into dreams rather than chapters. Analysing the existing Wrocław city structure, one can see something like a series of strips, most of them parallel to the Odra River (Fig.1). Some of them are dominated by housing, others by various economic activities. The housing areas are alternating with the strips of economic activities. The city structure is similar to the composition of a Big Mac with its many layers of bread and meet. Such a spatial arrangement is very efficient for the functioning of the transportation system. During the rush hour the majority of roads and lanes in both directions are used equally by car traffic. Also tramways going in opposite directions are equally full of passengers. Both empirical research and traffic computer simulations give evidence of this transportation system ‘behaviour’. | |
