Wroclaw in 30 years, or the city's future development

What Wroclaw in 30 years' time? How many residents? Where new estates, green areas, roads or business investments? Questions such as these will find the answer in a newly developed land use plan. City representative discussed the progress made on the document on Tuesday, 16 August 200 metres above the ground, on 49. floor of the Sky Tower, the tallest residential building in Poland, which commands a spectacular view on Wroclaw, the city representatives discussed Wroclaw's Land Use Plan. The document sets a vision for Wroclaw in 30 years' time. The initial estimated cost of the road construction and laying of the pipes, sewers and power lines in the next 30 years' time is 4 billion 645 million PLN, which makes ca. 155 million PLN annually. More residents Demographic forecasts are one of the most important sections in the plan. Currently, Wroclaw has ca. 635 thousand residents. It is estimated that the population will grow to 640 thousand in the next thirty years. More residential space The city's development and the residents' growing wealth are well reflected in the average residential floor space per person. In 2002, the residential floor space in Wroclaw was 22.3 sqm per person. In 2014, the indicator grew to reach 33 sqm per person. More greenery The overall share of green areas in the city is yet another section included in the plan. Deputy Head of the Wroclaw Development Bureau Marek Żabiński says that according to latest measurements (based on satellite photographs and infra-red laser scans), 51.53% of the city is covered by green areas, that is, areas covered by trees, shrubbery, grass and arable land. Greenery in residential areas accounts for 12% of the figure. Development areas   It is estimated that Wroclaw has 3,700 hectares of land that may be earmarked for housing estates or business development in the coming years. 21 development areas were identified, including Maślice, Sołtysowice, Kępa Mieszczańska, Zakrzów, Jagodno and Brochów and the vicinity of the following streets: Nyska, Wojanowska and Zwycięska. When a new plan? The residents have already submitted their suggestions to be included in a new land use plan. The consultation and recommendation process took 200 days to complete.
