From Wednesday, July 1st 2020, the so-called landscape resolution adopted by the Krakow City Council at the end of February will take effect. The document regulates the rules and conditions of locating small architecture objects, advertising boards and devices as well as fences, their dimensions, quality standards and types of building materials from which they can be made

What does the landscape resolution say?
The landscape resolution determines what, where, and what size can be placed and hung in the urban space that is to be ordered. Under the new regulations, the city was divided into 3 zones, of which in the 3rd of the 3 additional sub-areas were separated – Old Town, Nowa Huta and Śródmieście.
What does it allow for?
The document allows a limited catalog of advertising media: banners, billboards with an area of 12 sq m or 18 sq m, poster and advertising poles (so-called round logs), advertising panels, advertising murals, totems, pylons, free-standing advertising boards or free-standing advertising devices with smaller advertising space than 5 sq m.
The landscape resolution specifies in detail what boards and advertising devices are to be placed on construction works. The document also includes the conditions for the location of these carriers in individual zones or their backlighting.
This steps were taken so that the aesthetics of the city, the buildings would look more pleasing. I, for one, am happy that this will happen, as I think we are already flooded by advertising, by non-recyclable banners, by items that cannot be reused and that make the city uglier. What do you think about this decision?
