Kultura muzyczna Łodzi – artyści i instytucje Targowska, Karolina Art and culture belong to those fields which are most important for functioning of each metropolis. The location of a given city on the cultural map of Europe depends on its music traditions, prestige of its artistic institutions, as well as on the number of educated musicians. The author of this paper has analyzed the current condition of the music culture of Łódź, reverting to historic circumstances of establishing those traditions. The article presents the most important metropolitan music institutions in Łódź (Filharmonia Łódzka, Teatr Wielki, Teatr Muzyczny, Akademia Muzyczna). Moreover, the article is an attempted assessment of strategies of promotion, as well as activities (including the analysis of artistic programme) aiming at development of the described institutions of culture. In order to depict these issues, subjective opinions of musicians of Łódź, concerning working conditions and career prospects in our city, have been presented.

Odrębność rozwojowa regionu łódzkiego. Niewykorzystane dziedzictwo Królestwa Polskiego Wiśniewski, Mirosław The term Łódź region connected to the regional organization of the country appears in 1999 according to the organization of the EU countries. It refers to the Łódź voivodeship which has functioned, within a bit different borders however, since 1919 with a small break from 1975 to 1999. The above mentioned voivodeship is not a natural region of either physical or geographical properties as it is situated in the main watershed of Poland, in the keystone of the watersheds of three rivers: Bzura, Pilica and Warta. Nor is it a homogeneous historical unity. After all historical divisions corresponded with neither geographical nor cultural properties of regions. What is extremely interesting about the history of Łódź is the fact that it was established in such a place which created a center of rapidly developing economic region. The next historical paradox is that the administrative distinction of the region as well as a formal recognition of Łódź as its capital happened in a time when the conditions supporting the development of the city and region changed dramatically due to the World War I. Since then Łódź has been in a state of permanent restructuring linked with making up for the civilization losses occurred in the nineteenth-century city eruption. The insufficiency of the restructuring actions towards the historical part of the city as well as uncoordinated development of its outer area (which was the outcome of mistakes in planning and land development) led to a regression phase of the city and its region in the final period of industrial age (which was also the end of the communist regime). Study of conditions and urban arrangement directions of the city of Łódź accepted by the Łódź City Council in 2002 (main designer – Mirosław Wiśniewski), which the talk will touch upon, as well as the Voivodeship arrangement plan passed by the Same of Lodz Voivodeship in the same year describe not only the scale of the development problems but also the aims of the land policy. Apart from the problems of the material sphere, the most crucial point at present is, as the research shows (Krystyna Rembowska), the problem of low territorial consciousness, (...) feeling of our own territorial distinction and our own territorial group – the problem of lack of identity. The paper suggests that the material evidence (architectural heritage) as well as the elements of the „founding myth” of the city and region should be used in a greater degree in the process of building the regional identity. Those two points would help present the role which the strategy of the Polish Kingdom government played in the years 1815 – 1830 in the beginning of the development of industrial Łódź – especially an ingenious plan of the Head of Mazowieckie Voivodeship Committee (Voivode) - Rajmund Rembieliński. The paper also includes the thesis that Rembieliński, while establishing a set of industrial cities and creating the conditions for their development, very accurately predicted the future structure of the set. As a „background” of the region capital he used the already existing „colonies”, which were being established from the Poniatowski’s period to the times of the Prussian annexation (1793-1807) as well as private industrial cities build in the times of the Duchy of Warsaw (Ozorków) and the beginnings of the Polish Kingdom (Aleksandrów Łódzki and Zduńska Wola). He made the right choice of the place for the region capital by localizing its center first in Zgierz (1820) and right after that (in the years 1823-25) in Łódź. The choice was much better than the one by the Prussian authorities which wanted to make Nowosolna a capital. A very rapid development of Zgierz confirmed the correctness of the decision. Yet it was seen even better in Łódź, where its founder equipped the city in an unmatched assets based on a well-thought-of strategy and a finessed work. Among the most essential ones we can mention: spatial form of the city organism which was strictly subjected to the production needs and territorial immensity of the areas designed specifically for industry with specially arranged cascade of Jasień river to receive important clients. Moreover we must mention the invitation of important industrialists of those times since the very establishment of the city and, last but not least, taking into consideration the production of cotton fabrics in the city development plan. The author also advances a thesis that Rembieliński, having noticed the beginnings of the industrial region as well as having localized and adapted a place of the greatest potential for becoming a central point of the region, managed to anticipate and put into practice the ideas set in the theory (established over one hundred years later) by Walter Christaller (Die Zentralen Orte in Suddeutschland, Iena 1933).

Procesy suburbanizacji obszarów podmiejskich na przykładzie gmin powiatu pabianickiego. Zmiany przestrzenne Brzeziński, Cezary The processes of suburbanization are taking place more and more intensively around polish agglomerations. The dynamics and range of this phenomenon force close observation of the processes, as they bring about a lot of negative consequences. The poviat of Pabianice, bordering with Łódź and connected with it with important national roads and featuring attractive natural environment, is especially threatened with negative results of the process of urban sprawl. To research into the range of this process, there have been analyzed, the amount of agricultural land excluded from farming, the changes in the amount of grounds covered by arable lands and forest produce, dwelling and industrial areas and the number of building permits in the communities of the poviat.

Charakterystyka Wrocławskiego Obszaru Metropolitarnego ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem systemu przyrodniczego Warczewska, Beata; Mastalska-Cetera, Barbara The article concerns the transformation of natural environment caused by human activities. Especially strong changes occur as a result of urban development. The metropolitan areas have the highest urbanization degree. The size of Wroclaw Metropolitan Area (WrOM) is 6725 km 2 and includes 9 districts. WrOM natural system is heterogeneous. The special importance of this system is connected with the legally protected areas, which are associated mostly with river valleys. In the planning of the metropolitan area development it is important to remember that valuable landscapes and natural areas are threatened by excessive anthropopressure and that they should not be treated merely as barriers to development. The appropriate study of planning documentation may protect the valuable qualities of areas and in parallel may steer development of the area. The prepared plans of development of metropolitan area must include hints of proper shaping of functional-spatial structures.
