RE: Know Thy City - Eastern Fringes / Znaj swoje miasto - wschodnie peryferia

Great journalistic piece! Photos and text coincide very well. Within the grey mass produced by the flat-attack there is a pocket of romance and pride in the picture with the apples. And off course Coca Cola is present. What is the future of these places? One doesn't fix all the social problems with just some paint indeed.

Sort:  

Thank you. Photo of Coca-Cola ad is from long-abandoned bistro by the train station. All districts are slowly gentrifying. There are new apartments built here and there. Bronowice may have ugly architecture but there are lots of greenery - parks, playgrounds, lawns. New estates are usually tightly packed with buildings. Lawns are small and cut short. If there are trees - they're young and puny. In many ways old estates are more humane.

Gentrification is the new paint ;)

Yea, probably :)

BTW, write a post about yourself under the 'introduceyourself' tag. It's quite important when starting on steemit. You'll probably get some recognition that way.

Yes! :) I am working on it, try to make it a post worthwhile reading. :) Thanks.
