I remember watching a walking tour of the said city some time ago, it looks great! Nice to have the backstory of the place, which was the starting point of the video I just mentioned. If you're interested the current largest revitalization project in Europe is in Lyon called Confluence. If you speak French, there are great video material on TH-cam on the subject.
Bydgoszcz is my favourite city in Poland. I lived there for 6 months and by far it had the most charm and I went practically every major city except Szczecin, Poznan and Lodz. Thanks for sharing. 😊
@@cityforall they lied! 😂 But then again to each their own. Don't get me wrong Wroclaw, Cracov and Warsaw are special but I like feeling out a place in smaller cities like Bydgoszcz and Katowice. The ordinary is what makes them fabulous!
You will have seen my reference to my studies at the University of Derby over at your video on tramways in France. Later in the year I was doing the research work for my Final-Year Project in Aachen, Hagen and Krefeld there was a Transport Geography field trip to Brussels, on the way back from which we visited RAF Duxford. At the bookshop there I was attracted to a book entitled 'I Lived Under Hitler' about Sybil Bannister, a Briton who ended up living in the Third Reich for the duration of the conflict. In the early years of WWII she lived in Bromberg, as it was then called, as it had been incorporated into Germany after the defeat of Poland, so this video was an interesting insight into the city as it is today. It certainly looks attractive.
This is so great, reminds me of the Mill District in Minneapolis which has a similar history + transformation! Started as an industrial milling site on the Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis, with the Stone Arch Bridge originally serving train traffic back in the 20th century. After being closed to trains and the neighborhood abandoned in the later 20th century, efforts were made to restore the bridge as a bike+pedestrian crossing, and preserve the historic Mill District buildings with a museum included. It's a very popular and iconic part of the city today

No idea how I ended up here as a german, but my grandma was born 30 km from that island in the village Łobżenica. Nice to see where she grew up.

Oh, I know about Confluence and even was there once, that's a great example of big revitalization!
I was quite impressed when visiting Gdańsk a while ago. Thanks for letting me discover this beautiful city.
I've never been there but would be happy to.
Beautiful development, thanks for sharing.

My friends who live in Bydgoszcz told me that there is nothing even to look at so I was really surprised when I came there)

You can easily skip Łódź, but not Poznań.
@@LMB222 I did the opposite :)

Wow, that's interesting, thank you for the comment!
I'd love to see more of these videos about adaptive reuse! It's my favorite.
Thanks for suggestion!
It's because they don't have ruzzia as their neighbors!
They actually have - just look at the map
