New urban recreational spaces. Attractiveness, infrastructure arrangements, identity. The example of the city of Łódź
Journal Title: Miscellanea Geographica - Regional Studies on Development - Year 2018, Vol 22, Issue 4
Abstract
Services related to leisure time are treated as an important factor in the development of cities - a factor creating urban recreational spaces. It is also important to provide such spaces with appropriate elements of infrastructure, which would contribute to increasing its attractiveness. Urban recreational spaces gain more and more experimental and unique forms and are more and more defined in terms of functionality, aesthetics and identity. This article includes three examples of this type of spaces in Łódź. On the basis of conducted research, there was presented the importance of infrastructure arrangements that are thought-through and “well-anchored” in the urban tissue.
