Plac Budowy przekazany. Zaniedbany skwer przy Ehrenberga będzie zachwycać

At the square on Ehrenberga Street, there is currently an informal parking lot. Nature is fighting to reclaim this space—grass has grown through parts of the cracked concrete surface.

The square’s construction will be carried out in accordance with residents’ feedback. During the workshops, it was proposed […]
