The fiftieth anniversary of the birth of Tychy - New Town occasions reflections on a number of problems. The basic question is raised - to what extent did the town come into existence according to the plan worked out and approved of in 1951? The plan worked out by Hanna Adamczewska-Wejchert and Kazimierz Wejchert was undoubtedly a model of modernistic town, regarding zoning in the aspect of housing, work and recreation. In spite of the fact, that initially a new name of a dormitory-town for the coal mines in the southern part of Upper Silesia stuck to it, the plan from the very beginning anticipated town-creating element such as industrial areas on the outskirts, as well as the area for the university. Until the time of political system transformations in the country in 1989, the realization of the town in the shape defined in the plan was, in principle, almost finish. Yet, the planned centre was not realized and the cross-town railway ceased to function - the two important town-creating factors. The radical political, social, economic end economical changes exerted unquestionable influence on functioning of the town in the new conditions. Another aspect are post-modernistic concepts penetrating our lives, in them such elements which are brought in by the era of information civilization, the third wave forms of town functioning. How did they influence Tychy? In the considerations in dispute the author tackles the problem of replacing the nonexistent shopping centre by super- and hypermarkets appearing in the late 1990s in unforeseeable locations. Can they be equivalent to the nonexistent centre? Doesn't this state, in a sense, create a kind of a town within town?
