Today Szydłow holds a status of a commune village and has nearly two thousand inhabitants. A characteristic feature of its spatial arrangement is a hollowed-out centre, filled in in 35 years with a necropolis of gothic town, which in 1979 celebrated the anniversary of 650 years of its second location. The rebuilding of the wooden town was as a rule a quick process; the problem of rebuilding the 19th-century bricked buildings proved to be more difficult. To solve this problem architectural departments from at least three higher technological schools, fascinated with a unique nature of the contour of town ruins in the landscape of the north of Little Poland, joined their e ffo rts. Szydłow has become an experimental field in educational process of architects. It seems that proposed plans attained in this way have one common fault: they are separated from life realities of a small town. Speaking in simple terms, their authors have never lived in a small town and because of that they attempt to set spatial frames of life in such settlement units on a great town scale. This is even stranger in that that since the sixties we have at our disposal Artur Kuhnel’s compendium of the construction of small towns. It is an intriguing fact how little the principles contained in it have become outdated as a result of two wars and all socio-economic, geographical and political changes. Small towns require "construction plans” and what they receive is "plans of land development”. Still, in spite of obvious shortcomings what has been done till to-day gives rise to hopes for future. Both housing and trading cooperatives have well fulfilled their task of restoring for the Polish culture such an important urban and architectural monument as is represented by Szydłow
