The presence of the Jesuits in the artistic culture of the early modern era has been defined as a mission and an accommodation to the “people, times, and places”. Music, considered as a spatial phenomenon, had an important function in this mission, mostly due to its rhetorical qualities. Based on the example of Nysa/Neisse, the author shows how music influenced the social space of the local community and affected their sense of security and identity describing the way space was conquered by music reshaping the town’s microcosm and its neighbourhoods.
Spatial structure of a part of cities in the USA is determined by highways. Usually, the impact of motorways only modified the spatial structure of cities in Europe. Another important role of motorways can be observed in respect of suburbanisation. A relatively new phenomenon is the emergence of edge cities. Overgrowth of suburbanisation has several harmful impacts which many think are in connection with motorways. However, to counterbalance their impacts is a very important task. Our paper is a short review of these issues.
