Since 1989, urban spaces in Poland have undergone a process of dramatic transformation. Cities across the country have seen frenetic buildingÌýactivity, as the construction of new commercial buildings, public institutions and infrastructure have changed the post-communist landscape. Warsaw - the nation's capital - is perhaps the most astounding example of this rapid change, especially over the last ten years.
Professor Małgorzata Omilanowska - former Polish Minister of Culture and National Heritage - gave a fascinating lecture on the transformations of Polish architecture after 1989.
Professor OmilanowskaÌýis an art historian. She specialisesÌýin the architecture of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, theories of art, and conservation of monuments.
This event was co-organised by ÃÜÌÒÊÓÆµ Polish Studies and the ÃÜÌÒÊÓÆµ University Polish Society.
