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.
