Summary

Designing functional public spaces within historical urban layouts, such as the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Zamość, poses significant challenges. This study highlights that balancing innovation with historical integrity is crucial for maintaining the original character and functionality of such spaces. Zamość, a 16th-century Renaissance town, offers a unique case study due to its well-preserved urban structure, fortification system, and buildings blending Italian and middle-European architectural practices. The research employs a comparative analysis of selected components of city spaces in Zamość and Lwów, focusing on their development and promotion. It emphasizes the importance of ergonomic, efficient, and accessible public spaces that cater to diverse user needs without compromising historical authenticity.
