dc.description.abstract | A pragmatic look at the city highlighted its green – blue assets. Like many cities, Wrocław was located on its river for its livelihood. The river system continues to play a prime role as a symbol and a nature reserve in the city structure, although its economic functions such as navigation have declined. Its propensity to flood has turned the river into a risk and has impaired its accessibility, safe for speculative developments in flood planes contradicting plans. Rivers present also obstacles to traffic flows due to lack of crossings. Wrocław’s large amount of green areas, agricultural land and allotments is a historic accident which endows the city with unique assets. Disliked by planners and developers allotments provide a sense of belonging and a socialising platform for their users. Continuous car based suburbanisation has worsened traffic and pollution and threatens Wrocław’s considerable heritage. | |
