  • Regional Action Plan Liberec Region
    REGIONAL ACTION PLAN LIBEREC REGION – LOWER SILESIA For improving cross-border passenger rail Final transport Liberec Region - Lower Silesia 11 2018 D.T2.1.2 Page 1 The Trans-Borders project is to make a significant contribution to further development of German-Polish-Czech cooperation in the field of rail passenger transport. In recent years, quantitative, temporal and quality improvement has been noted between Lower Silesia and the Liberec Region, but this process requires continuation as public transport is still not fully competitive with, for example, individual means of transport. Targeted measures within the cross-border project will allow the process that has already started to continue. The development and implementation of a regional action plan aimed at connecting the cross-border region between Lower Silesia and the Liberec Region will contribute to connecting this area with the nearest TEN-T hubs in Wrocław and Praha and will improve not only its communication accessibility but also its attractiveness. The implementation of the regional action plan will support the strategy for sustainable cross-border passenger transport and will correspond to the proposed measures and actions. Page 2 MOTIVATION Linking the peripheral area of Borderland CZ/D/PL to the TEN-T node The neighbouring regions of Lower Silesia and the Liberec Region are located between two corridors of the European railway traffic core network, namely the Orient/East-Med Corridor and the Baltic-Adriatic corridor. For the development of both regions, it is necessary to improve access to the corridors and their respective hubs in Wrocław, Praha and Dresden and between them.

  • Jelenia Góra
    E3S Web of Conferences 100, 00091 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf /2019100000 91 EKO-DOK 2019 Concept of reducing harmful emissions by road transport vehicles in the tourist route Karpacz– Jelenia Góra Pawel Zajac1,*, Szymon Haladyn2, and Stanislaw Kwasniowski1 1Wrocław University of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Wybrzeże Wyspiańskiego 27, 50-370 Wroclaw, Poland 2Wrocław University of Technology, "Logistics” Students' Scientific Circle functioning at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Wybrzeże Wyspiańskiego 27, 50-370 Wrocław, Poland Abstract. The research carried out by the "Logistics” Students' Scientific Circle functioning at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Wrocław University of Technology shows that every day, between the communes which cross railway lines 308 and 340, 1911 persons move in circular migrations solely due to occupational activity. Some of them could travel by rail. Eliminating 500 cars a day (i.e. 250 outwards and return travels on the route Kowary/Karpacz–Jelenia Góra) would reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 460 tonnes. Further reductions in CO2 emissions in transport can be achieved thanks to the use of railways by tourists, of which - in the area of the communes of Karpacz, Kowary and Mysłakowice, i.e. an area of outstanding recreational valors - there was over 300,000 in 2016 [3]. Rational train running interval was determined and a timetable proposed, taking into account routes leading beyond Jelenia Góra. The paper justifies the need for the introduction of complementary communication provided by electrobuses. The concept of reactivating traffic in this area should be complemented by the construction of a Park&Ride car park.

  • St. John's Cathedral Wrocław
    St. John’s Cathedral Wrocław The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Wrocław, (Polish: Archikatedra św. Jana Chrzciciela, German: Breslauer Dom, Kathedrale St. Johannes des Täufers), is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Wrocław and a landmark of the city of Wrocław in Poland. The cathedral, located in the Ostrów Tumski district, is a Gothic church with Neo-Gothic additions. The current standing cathedral is the fourth church to have been built on the site. The cathedral was almost entirely destroyed (about 70% of the construction) during the Siege of Breslau and heavy bombing by the Red Army in the last days of World War II. Parts of the interior fittings were saved and are now on display at the National Museum in Warsaw. The initial reconstruction of the church lasted until 1951, when it was reconsecrated by Archbishop Stefan Wyszyński. In the following years, additional aspects were rebuilt and renovated. The original, conical shape of the towers was restored only in 1991. Wroclaw Town Hall The Old Town Hall (Polish: Stary Ratusz) of Wroclaw stands at the center of the city’s Market Square (rynek). Wroclaw is the largest city in western Poland and isthe site of many beautiful buildings. The Old Town Hall's long history reflects the developments that have taken place in the city over time since its initial construction. The town hall serves the city of Wroclaw and is used for civic and cultural events such as concerts held in its Great Hall. In addition to a concert hall, it houses a museum and a basement restaurant.

Subregion underwent lengthy and difficult restructuring with serious social aftermaths. Jelenia Góra is in relatively best shape (together with border town of Zgorzelec), but the region as a whole is among the least developed in South-Western Poland. It still has significantly developed industrial sector but it is low-tech producing. The region is neither innovative nor competitive, suffers from high unemployment rate, has underdeveloped high schools and R&D institutions. Despite all appreciated support from the EU and national budget, its impact is felt mainly in the quality of live, and not in the desirable structural change of the economy and its modernisation, increased innovation and competitiveness (except for some tourist initiatives).

It shows regeneration activities carried out in Wrocław in connection with the organization of international events, cultural and sport events, and with the improvement of spatial order.
