Situated in the western part of the city south of the Odra river it contains the Nowy Dwór and Muchobór Mały neighbourhoods with 15.000 and 5.000 inhabitants respectively. They are surrounded by allotments, a large shopping mall, industrial and intensive agricultural areas, a large park (Park Tysiąclecia – Millenium Park), a river, railways, a congested inner city ring-road and a planned motorway bypass. Contrasting architectural typologies characterise these housing estates. Nowy Dwór, a latemodernist prefabricated development from the 1970s with schools, community centres, a swimming pool, church, retail, large open areas and cul de sac access to blocks of flats varying between 3 and 15 stories creates an anonymous and dehumanising atmosphere. Muchobór Mały a low density, pre-war working-class housing district, organised on a grid model with single, mostly one-storey family villas with private gardens, small businesses, green areas, but few local services has a suburban feel. Local services are located along the busy road separating the two estates which are accessed by buses and by rail from the city centre.EnglishopenAccessconferenceObject44-45
