Abstract

The key problem discussed in this paper is the protection of the relic of pre-urbanized cultural landscape in urban areas.

He argues that the key components of the former layout are neither well-identified nor valued – for this reason their protection is selective and superficial.

The theses are illustrated by examples from the area of Wrocław
