Ochrona i rewaloryzacja przestrzeni publicznych miasta modernistycznego na przykładzie trzech ulic zabytkowego śródmieścia Gdyni

A key insight from this study is that preserving the public spaces of a modernist city center, such as Gdynia's historic streets, requires balancing historical integrity with contemporary urban needs. The research highlights that while architectural conservation often focuses on buildings, the public realm—streets, plazas, and open spaces—equally demands attention for a cohesive heritage experience. Using three streets in Gdynia's modernist city center (built in the 1920s–30s), the study analyzes their distinct conditions, renovation challenges, and societal expectations, revealing how these factors lead to varied conservation outcomes. This approach offers a novel perspective on protecting relatively young historical areas (under 100 years old) by integrating urban planning, heritage preservation, and community engagement.
