‘Gdynia Modernist City Centre’ jako polski kandydat na WHL UNESCO. Perspektywy i wnioski.

Gdynia Modernist City Centre has strong potential for inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List (WHL), according to an evaluation by ICOMOS. Although the 2025 submission required additional documentation and clarifications, the site's well-preserved condition and consistent heritage protection efforts since the 1990s suggest a high likelihood of success in future applications. If recognized, this would mark a significant achievement for Poland, highlighting Gdynia as a symbol of post-war architectural innovation and urban development. The study, conducted by directly involved researchers, analyzes the site's eligibility criteria, challenges, and broader implications for heritage conservation.
