In 1951, the periodical “Miasto” (“City”) published an article by Tadeusz Tołwiński Reconstruction of the downtown districts of modern Krakow. The concept of urban solutions for the centre of Krakow turned out to be the professor’s last work, presented to a wider audience shortly aft er his death. Anticipating the rapid growth of the city, Tołwiński presented a regulatory plan: he defi ned the extent of the inner city districts, presented a proposal for a series of measures to correct the urban layout, focusing above all on tidying up and acquiring green areas, rebuilding the railway tracks and shaping the traffic arterial roads. The plan is part of a series of reflections by the professor, published in the 1930s in his monumental work Urbanistyka [Urban planning]. It also takes into account earlier proposals for spatial solutions for Krakow, from the first attempts to shape the character of the city, i.e. the assumptions of the competition for the regulatory plan of Greater Krakow announced in 1909, through the so-called ‘Dziewoński Plan’ of the late 1930s, to the solutions proposed by the occupying forces in the early 1940s. Although Tołwiński’s proposal was only implemented in a fragmentary way, it influenced the formation of the subsequent concept by Anna Ptaszycka and left its mark on the subsequent development of the city.
