Abstracts

EN

The author travelled through the whole country starting from Slupsk to Krosno and from Suwalki to Walbrzych to see how nowadays people live in the cities which in 1989 lost status of capital of the voivodships. He met their history and he was talking with the inhabitants, as well he met with the entrepreneurs, artists, activists and teachers. He was visiting local workshops and cafes, fallen factories and dynamically developing companies, stations and McDonald's restorations. He was asking the people what are they proud of in their cities, what are they happy about and what they would like to "change". The structure of the review consists of two sections. In the first section there were presented generalizations concerning the analysed archipelago cities, in the second one there are problems related to functioning of the individual cities before and after the reform in 1989.
