Chaos estetyczny polskich miast - zagospodarowanie przestrzeni publicznej

The Supreme Audit Office carried out the audit of the implementation by selected local self-government units of the tasks related to shaping public landscape and space, especially in culture parks. In accordance with the current regulations, public space can be protected in several different ways. The instruments available here include providing spatial management plans, landscape laws and commercial charges, establishment of culture parks, protection of road areas and conservation supervision. In the opinion of the Supreme Audit Office the activities undertaken in the audited cities have had an impact on public space quality improvement. Still, the level of this impact varies. The most effective activities were undertaken in Kraków and Wrocław, while the least effective – in Radom and in Zakopane – with regard to the culture park of Kotlina Zakopiańska.
