W artykule zaprezentowano obraz wyobrażeń przestrzeni Łodzi kobiet i mężczyzn uzyskany na podstawie badań prowadzonych w latach 2004–2006. Wyobrażenie miasta rozumiane jest jako subiektywny obraz przestrzeni, który może zostać przywołany do umysłu przez wyobraźnię (W a l m s l e y, L e w i s, 1997), jednak jego znaczenie jest dużo szersze, gdyż uwypukla całkowitą wiedzę, doświadczenie, odczucia i preferencje jednostki związane z wizerunkiem miasta.

The opinion about the existance of the difference between the real – objective world and its subjective image created in the human mind has a long lasting tradition. It is commonly belived that the image of the environment has a strong influence on the people’s spatial behaviour. Setting about to design a city’s space it might be worth to know in what way the city’s particular fragments are reflected in the inhabitants’ conscious. Research in this field may considerably facilitate the formation of the environment in the way to make the inhabitants satisfied to the highest degree. The article presents the image of the city of Łódź by women and men obtained from the research conducted between the year 2004 and 2006. The image of the city is understood as a subjective picture of urban environment which may be recalled to mind by our imagination (Walmsley, Lewis, 1997) however the image’s significance is wider as it highlights the whole knowledge, experience, feelings and spatial preferences of an individual that relates to the inhabited environment. In the article, the presented image of Łódź obtained within the study carried with a group of 100 women and 100 men is treated as a dependent variable. The sex of the respondents aknowledged as the independent variable is to explain the assumed differences in the city’s image recalled by the mind of both women and men. Presented reasearch included all stages of urban environment perception that is: the image of the city’s physicall structure, its valorization and the spatial preferences. The structure of cognitive maps received from respondents was analized with the use of the elements outlined by Lynch (1960). Valorization of the urban environment of the city if Łódź was carried out in virtue of Słodczyk’s method (1984) and the spatial preferences of the city’s inhabitants were investigated with the use of the method proposed by Gould (1974). The analysis of particular images of the urban environment of the city of Łódź by women and men made it possible to put forward two conclusions. First of all the sex has a considerable influence on the subjective reflection of a city. Second of all, the city center – the best remembered as appealing to the richest language of symbols is at the same time the least preferred fragment of the city’s space considering the housing factor.

The conviction that metropolitan areas are of vital importance for the socio-economic development is one of the major paradigms of social development in the era of globalization. Among numerous problems associated with spatial metropolization there is the recognition of certain social and economic processes together with their spatial conditions. On the one hand, these conditions lead to the integration of metropolitan areas, but on the other, they may cause some diversification. According to the results of a few selected studies conducted on Łódź Metropolitan Area (Łódzki Obszar Metropolitalny), there has been a significant change in the role of an agglomeration and its location in the settlement system. Metropolitan integration takes place at the functional-spatial level, however, it is much more complex than it used to be before 1990. Disintegration, on the other hand, results from the autonomization of the settlement sub-systems of agglomerations, which occurs mainly due to the functioning of the local self-government and the renaissance of localism (the restoration of local identity). Local communities exhibit great commitment to their local communities, and as regards Łódź, this city is perceived, in terms of functional (practical) criteria, much more as a place where services are offered rather than a labor market. Furthermore, there is also a discrepancy between the image of Łódź as a metropolitan center (constructed primarily from the perspective of the center) and the public understanding of the concept of a metropolis and metropolization, including the management and administration of the region.

Celem artykułu jest interpretacja przestrzeni miasta Łodzi na podstawie esejów fotograficznych przygotowywanych przez studentów geografii w ramach projektu "Mój obraz Łodzi". Wykorzystane tutaj prace prezentują szereg miejsc o różnych właściwościach i znaczeniu dla poszczególnych osób doświadczających przestrzeń miasta. W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono miejsca, które określano jako: „miejsce – symbol Łodzi”, „miejsce piękne”, „miejsce brzydkie”, „miejsce, w którym widać rozwój”, „miejsce, w którym widać kryzys”, „miejsce, w którym czas się zatrzymał”.

The purpose of this paper is to interpret the city of Lodz through individual experience, using photography as a research method. In the course of social research conducted in the spring of 2011 and 2012, 44 photographic essays were gathered. Each essay was an example of self-identification of “my places” in the city of Lodz, with different characteristics and the reasons for their choice. In this article we will present places, which were defined as: " the symbol of Lodz", "the beautiful place", "the ugly place", "the place where you can see the development", "the place where you can see the crisis", "the place where the time has stopped”. Photographic essays present a subjective image of Lodz, on the basis of which one can draw conclusions about the social interpretation and evaluation of both the city and its parts. It seems that this type of studies showing an emotional relationship to the urban space may be important for the strategy and planning of local development, pointing out problem areas that require conservation, restoration, or deeper functional and spatial transformations.

The city of Lodz was developing from the beginning of the 19th century as a center of textile industry in Eastern Europe. Because of industrial past socio-economical distortions were characteristic for the city of Lodz and still play a crucial role in its urban landscape. The purpose of this paper is to present and interpret existing distortions in the city of Lodz through individual experience, using photography as a research method. Photographic essays prepared by 75 students of geography at the University of Lodz in spring of 2011 and 2012, present a subjective image of Lodz, on the basis of which one can draw conclusions about the social interpretation and evaluation of both the city and its parts. It seems that this type of studies showing an emotional relationship to the urban space may be important for the strategy and planning of local development, pointing out problem areas that require conservation, restoration, or deeper functional and spatial transformations.
