Abstract
Contemporary cities also known as postindustrial cities are created by dynamic urban development. One of the
most significant processes is related to waterfront areas and their new public spaces. What does it mean for the
identity of a city, for its potential on the “tourist market”? How deeply can new urban structures change the
image of a city? The author would like to describe this topic exemplified by two Polish cities: Gdańsk and
Kraków.Peer Reviewe
