Therefore the hypothesis with a significant role in the city spatial structure and of importance in forming a city area landscape encompassing the Łódź Fabryczna city centre road and rail hub seems to be correctly defined. This foremost train and bus transit station area situated in the very heart of Łódź had not been granted the city landscape renown it deserves. Its role in the shaping of city image in the eyes of travelers and tourists is unquestionable. The city inhabitants have also waited years for the proper arranging of the road and rail hub, the improvement of underinvested and interlaced public areas, reassurance of being provided with proper travel conditions as well as providing this place with representative qualities worthy of a Central European city.
