The history of artificial light (kerosene, electric, LED) is at the same time the history of the origins of the urban landscape. Beginning with Benjamin's Passages, in which the light brings into view the enshrouded alleys of Paris, through numerous artistic projects of the 19th and the 20th century, M. Bille's anthropological and A. E. Stamp's behavioural studies, ending with the concept of the intensity of light as the indicator of the metropolitan potential of a given region of the world (e.g., NASA World Lights project), as well as an element of the anesthetisation of urban iconosphere (e.g., light and laser design), the light is also becoming an inherent element of research within urban and spatial studies. Usually, however, the subject of light occurs 'additionally', 'by the way', as a 'supplement', and not as the primary theme, i.e., the basic line of reflection and the mutual realm of presented ideas. Considering the fact that artificial light generated the phenomena unknown thus far (e.g., light pollution, over-illumination, etc.) and led to the modern victory of humanising and familiarising urban space (e.g., 'nightlife', traffic, etc.), it is, however, necessary to define its role within social processes, as well as its location in the realm of urban and spatial sociology interests, as equivalent in relation to other topics. The article is an attempt to 'rehabilitate' the subject of light within the realm of social sciences and to point out possible explanation paths concerning the reflection on 'cities of light'.

EN
The period of industrialization brought with it important changes in the life of our cities. A host of negative influences related to the growth of industries sparked a critique of urban development, which led, in turn, to a renewed interest in urban landscape, greenery and nature. In the course of the 19th century, public greenery of a modern type emerged as a reaction to the worsening of environmental conditions in the cities. In addition, the importance of highquality suburban nature for life in the city came to be appreciated.

This article focuses on two masterpieces of Russian modernism that foreground Moscow and Petersburg, two urban spaces that are well-rooted in collective and individual local consciousness: Master and Margarita by Michail Bulgakov and Petersburg by Andrei Bely. Both cities are portrayed in the turbulent political context of early 20th century as real borders between the European civilization on the one hand and the worst barbarity on the other. The author ś aim is to compare the strategies of both key representatives of Russian modernism whose approaches to the same task is rather different. They project dystopic worlds whose inhabitants have lost faith in art, religion and science and where history is only a bad dream, from which the individual can wake up no longer. The article identifies concepts used to explore these urban spaces, emphasizing the auto-referential style of both authors.

A city’s identity should be understood in terms of a set of characteristic features that distinguish it from any other city and underscore its uniqueness. Such unique identity is defined by several factors such as urban landscape, architecture, natural environment, economy and public life. Uniqueness can be achieved either through unmistakable landmarks and phenomena, or through a peculiar combination of objects, not necessarily unique in themselves. Uniqueness may be reflected in the city’s physiognomy, its urban landscape, the specific character of individual sights, as well as people’s awareness, their behaviour and different systems of values. Determining the city’s identity is a long-term, historic process. In the case of Lublin, the geographical conditions that shape the city’s cultural identity are very characteristic. The dynamic landscape and the presence of three river valleys have resulted in a specific spatial display and urban planning. This concerns both older and newer districts. Said conditions are all reflected in Lublin’s urban landscape, green areas arrangement, transport routes, and many other elements. The city is located in a peripheral, agricultural region, which translates into social structure, different systems of values of the city’s inhabitants, as well as into the city’s economy, which inextricably linked with the agricultural character of the Lubelszczyzna region.
