Editing Gentrification (section)

===Poland===
In Poland, gentrification is proceeding mostly in the big cities like [[Warsaw]], [[Łódź]], [[Kraków]], [[Metropolis GZM]], [[Poznań]], and [[Wrocław]]. The reason of this is both de-industrialisation and poor condition of some residential areas.

The biggest European ongoing gentrification process has been occurring in [[Łódź]] from the beginning of the 2010s. Huge unemployment (24% in the 1990s) caused by the downfall of the garment industry created both economic and social problems. Moreover, vast majority of industrial and housing facilities had been constructed in the late 19th century and the renovation was neglected after [[World War II]]. [[Łódź]] authorities rebuilt the industrial district into the New City Center. This included re-purposing buildings including the former electrical power and heating station into the [[Łódź Fabryczna]] railway station and the [[EC1 Science Museum]].

There are other significant gentrifications in Poland, such as:
