The location of Frankfurt(O) and Slubice are determined by geographical coordinates: Longtitude 14: 5 E and Latitude 52: 3 N. The commune Slubice is placed between Pradolina Warszawsko-Berlinska and Pradolina Torunsko-Eberswaldzka, in Pojezierze Lubuskie, by the central Odra. The relief is diversified. To the south of Slubice the valley has a width of 1.5 km. However, it widens from the north of the town to 6 km. It is a flat area with a height of about 20 m above sea level. The Odra at this place narrows giving only one good crossing point. The first settlements were already in existence here in the fifth or fourth millennium B.C. As a result of the First World War Germany lost areas in Eastern Europe. After that, Frankfurt(O) had to engage Germans displaced from the East. National socialism and the Second World War led the metropolis beside the Odra to serious crisis; in April 1945 the old town was burned, Frankfurt(O) became a frontier town and the part located on the east side of the Odra was given to Poland as Slubice town. In the new political and territorial situation residents started the reconstruction and adaptation of towns for new needs. The border checkpoint quickly became the most important on the western border of Poland, the bridge blown up in wartime was rebuilt. Frankfurt was developing dynamically, the big population was growing, large housing estates with blocks of flats and modern office buildings were built. The fall of the Berlin Wall and demographic changes at the end of the 20th century caused regression of Frankfurt into a provincial town near Berlin, emigration of population unsettled the social balance. Slubice, the old part of Frankfurt(O), has urban form as a result of trade routes running for the western border. Very few architectural monuments were scattered and the town hadn`t any prestigious places, a centre like Market Square didn`t exist. Right before the towns there is the Odra buffer area located to protect against floods which have often occurred in recent years When water is draining off, the landscape is very unpleasant. The bank of the river has been developed, especially on the German side. However it hasn`t resulted in a considerable inflow of residents into boulevards. The deficiency in recreational usage of water resources and rather difficult access to them mean that the towns are isolated from the river. Boulevards, the riverside area and the part of the floodplain could be the place, where integration of common space would happen. And then big urban areas be connected through activation of small but important fragments. To make it possible, it`s very important to create communication channels for public transport, foot and bicycle paths. The main channels should be designed as view axis ended with natural landscape.
