Gdańsk, famous in Poland for its beautiful old town and river front, and elsewhere for the bravery of Lech Wałęsa and the protesters from the shipyards. Today the shipyard area has declined in importance and in appearance. And so the Gdańsk Young City project was born. Synergia 99 the holder of 73 ha of land sought to revitalize the area and solicited proposals from developers. However, two years later the project is still on the drawing boards. Peter Wisłocki of Aukett Polska, a bureau of architects in Warsaw, was commissioned by TK Development to design retail and office facilities for their bid to develop the largest parcel of land on the site. He told us "There have been some delays in the local authority's approval process. However we have been told that the urban master plan will be formally ratified around September of this year, which will allow Synergia 99 to proceed with their studies into the local road and transport infrastructure requirements."
