  1. Warsaw, Danzig and Wroclaw are extremly beautiful!

  2. That is development. Hunger for better tomorrow.

  3. What astonishes me about the new skyline is American-style city skylines, according to the internet, particularly from Europe is an absolute hellscape, a nightmare, you couldnt dream of something worse.. that is unless its in Europe, then its totally fine! hehe! …

    GG poland on prosperity and also GG on your skyline, building up instead of out. Where, unlike in Germany, most people can still afford to buy a home instead of the vast majority having to rent.

  4. For anybody wondering that’s part of the former Warsaw ghetto during WW2 that has been left standing for historical purposes.

    I have visited Warsaw sporadically over the past several years. Everytime I return, the city is more beautiful than the last time. They’ve spent years destroying or converting those unsightly Soviet era building blocks.

    These days I would say it’s one of the most sophisticated capitals in the European Union. It frankly puts Brussels to shame.

  5. It is an amazing photo. You can see 4 eras of buildings in Warsaw. First is the old house in front, probably built just after the war. Then you have early socialist blacks of flats on the left. Then there is this one building next to the socialist one, its office building from around nineties.Lastly there are those skyscrapers in the back, and apartment building on the right.

  6. Look at the skyscrapers. Better than Germany. Huge and impressive Warsaw is rich the richest city in Central Europe. Not eastern btw

  7. I visited Warsaw for work in December and I think on the right it’s the hotel I actually stayed in. I was honestly surprised by the urbanism. You have very modern buildings with ones that look to be from around the 80’s next to it and post-war ones not far away. I really liked the city overall.
    It’s kind of a shame the modern part of the city is being built the same way US and Chinese cities develop. Every big cities tend to look more similar instead of keeping their own ”flavor”.

  8. New York isn’t much better. The side alleys are in horrible condition

  9. Half is 21st century, half remembers Warsaw uprising.
    I love Bober land.

  10. I love this photo and how it’s shown the eras Poland has gone through – for better or for worse – but I really hope we preserve the old buildings in the forefront.

  11. The old building is not yet upgraded to a higher level/s

  12. Literally growing out of the old communist grime
