Być jak Kopenhaga : marzenie mieszkańców pewnego środkowoeuropejskiego miasta versus rzeczywistość

Kraków is an example of a city that has advanced rapidly in terms of population, economy and social development. The success of the city has caused also some side effects. The article presents an analysis of urban social problems. I am used the results of external comparative studies of big Polish cities. They pointed to problems such as environmental pollution, especially air pollution, crime, alcohol and drug addition, homelessness, chaotic expansion of housing industry, privatization of urban space, poor or inadequate social infrastructure for the youngest and oldest generations. The idea for solving problems is to employ a Copenhagen model of urban development.
