Abstract
The group is trying to understand the city from two perspectives: analytical and symbolic. From and analytical point of view it is positioning Wrocław’s in relation to a variety of geographic layers: international, national, regional, city, district, and public spaces layers to identify where the city wants to be, what it is lacking and what improvements need to be achieved in the medium and long term. From a symbolic point of view the group gives the word to ‘Mr Wrocław’. These layers interact both horizontally and vertically with each others, showing different levels of acceptance of each aspect that belongs to a layer. For example, history, a great asset of the city will affect the entire region, because Wrocław is the biggest city in the region, but it has also global effects, because the city has the most interesting mixed history in the Poland. Another example is Rynek, which has a different significance locally as a public space and nationally as the most representative cultural site of the city.
