The period since the 1960s has been characterised by growing societal concern with urban heritage protection and the development of legislative, fiscal and urban planning instruments that seek to ensure the protection and enhancement of historic buildings and environments. International organisations such as UNESCO and European level documents such as the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP) have stressed the cultural and economic value of the ‘wise management of natural and cultural heritage’. Since the 1970s many cities have sought to redefine and regenerate themselves through a revalorisation of their past and the protection and enhancement of their historic urban landscapes. Urban heritage has thus often come to be seen as a component of the territorial capital of places, and often had a symbiotic relationship with the objective of urban regeneration. However, urban heritage is not a static concept and ideas about what constitutes heritage, the value of different historic urban environments, and the contribution they can make to city development and regeneration continue to evolve. This paper reflects on this evolution in the context of the English planning system and illustrates some key trends and issues surrounding urban heritage through a consideration of recent and ongoing heritage related planning episodes in the northern English city of Liverpool.

The paper aims at revealing the changing role of various discourses of identity in the urban landscape of the Upper Silesian town of Gliwice in southern Poland. The town was a part of Poland, then the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Habsburg Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia since the mid-18th century, Germany and again Poland since 1945. Discourses of identity of different geographical scope are analysed: local, regional (Upper Silesian and this of the former Polish Eastern Borderland), national (Polish and German in particular) and transnational (religious and socialist). The authors examine to what extent these various types of identity found expression in the street names, symbolic structures as well as functions and meanings of important buildings. They consider which elements of identity were continously present in the urban narrative despite the radical political changes. In addition, the role of various groups of stakeholders in the formation of the urban landscape is discussed, including the influence of the state and local authorities, enterprises and non-governmental organizations.

Celem artykułu jest pokazanie, jak zmieniła się od połowy XVIII w. w krajobrazie kulturowym miasta Gliwic rola odgrywana przez różne narracje tożsamości o zasięgu lokalnym, regionalnym (górnośląskiej i kresowiackiej), narodowym (głównie polskiej i niemieckiej) i ponadnarodowym (religijnej i socjalistycznej). Autorzy dokonują analizy, w jakim stopniu poszczególne rodzaje tożsamości znajdowały wyraz w nazwach ulic, symbolicznych obiektach oraz funkcjach i znaczeniu nadawanym budynkom. Pokazują, jakie elementy tożsamości wykazywały względną trwałość (ciągłość) w czasie pomimo zachodzących zmian politycznych, oraz oceniają, jaką rolę w kształtowaniu krajobrazu kulturowego miasta odgrywały różne grupy interesariuszy, w tym władze państwowe i lokalne, podmioty gospodarcze i organizacje społeczne.
