REVITALIZATION OF PUBLIC SPACES WITH TRANSIT MOVEMENT IN THE CENTER ON THE EXAMPLE OF GRYBÓW
Journal Title: Acta Scientarum Polonorum Administratio Locorum - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Market is the most important place in the city, especially in a small town, where it performs representative, commercial and social role. Due to the fact that it is often the only public space in this places, that it’s important to care aesthetic, historical and cultural values. Many markets of small Polish cities, also the market in Grybów does not fully exploit their values, performing mainly the transport and parking function. The problem stems from the route of a high traffic which runs through the center. Historically, the course of roads through town centers was a desirable phenomenon, as it contributed to the city’s economic development. Currently, these roads are a barrier divisiving urban centers and lowering the rank and quality of public spaces. The market square in Grybów is crossed by the national road No. 28. There is a proposal to build a beltway, but it was not accepted by the residents. The work presents proposals of actions aimed at “recovering” the space for residents and encouraging them to stay in it, which in the future could contribute to the elimination of vehicular traffic from the center and completion of the revitalization process. Attention was paid to the problem of the destruction of public spaces by vehicular traffic, low interest of residents in the use of common spaces, which has been consolidated over the years when they were missing. The issues raised at work indicate that it is worth referring to Gehl’s idea of “cities for people” also in small towns and it should constitute guidelines for local government authorities.
