The article discusses the history of the concept, decision-making process and construction of the first stage of the Żerań Heat and Power Plant, one of the most important industrial facilities established during the six-year reconstruction plan for Warsaw (1949-1955). The Heat and Power Plant, built largely according to a Soviet design developed in Leningrad, supplied heat to apartment blocks and provided steam necessary for the operation of Żerań industrial plants, including the Passenger Car Factory. The article is based primarily on archival sources, which allowed for a detailed reconstruction of the individual stages of this economically strategic investment.
The aim of the article is to determine the potential of using urban wastelands for the purpose of everyday recreation. The research was carried out by analysing a case study - the Mound of the Warsaw Uprising (Kopiec Powstania Warszawskiego). The article indicates the attractive features of this area in terms of location, topography, nature, history and today's cultural significance, and the entire work was based on the postulates contained in the New Athens Charter and the European Landscape Convention. The research was carried out in the context of contemporary changes in the approach to nature related to the climate crisis. An important element of the work is to indicate specific recommendations and directions for the development of this area. To a great extent, the postulates have been formulated in a general sense, so that they can be applied to other areas.
