The Vistula River and its left naturally formed right bank are an integral part of Warsaw’s landscape. Unique and picturesque on a European scale, it forms a green corridor protected by Natura 2000. This area offers a number of possibilities and still undiscovered and inaccessible places. Increasing accessibility should become a remedy for activating and recognizing their potential, as every appearance of users leaves a mark of domestication and inclusion in social functioning. These reflections attempt to initiate a discussion on managing challenging areas in the urban landscape and extracting their spatial-landscape potential. It is worth defining the role that could be played by riverbank areas in sustainable development processes and the lives of demanding urban residents. The aim of this discussion is to present a land-use concept preceded by an analysis of the possibility of integrating unused riverbank areas under the bridges into recreational functioning. These areas offer an enormous spatial and landscape potential. An example of this is the area of the Vistula River under and around the Anna Jagiellonka Bridge in the Warsaw district of Wawer. The design proposal is also a response to the deficit of social integration spaces, as well as the restoration and increased accessibility of this area on the river side. With a creative approach to managing riverbank areas, a unique public space can be created here, which would be an attractive viewpoint of the Warsaw skyline, emphasizing its identity as the southern gateway to the city.
