TI - Greenery of the bałuty area in Łódź. Spatial composition of memory space
AB - 
	Karol Borowiecki, Maks Baum and Moryc Welt - a Pole, a German and a Jew - the heroes of “The Promised Land” - embody the layering of cultures that have been forming Łódź already since the eighteenth century. The city is currently facing subjects of restoring the memory of its past inhabitants. The yearly Łódź of Four Cultures Festival, the revitalisation of sites of genocide or the establishment of new memorial sites like Survivors’ Park and Grey Ranks Park are but a few of the efforts that initiate dialogue with the past and that activate contemporary space. In the landscape of Bałuty, one of the districts of Łódź, we can see a combination of the unrealised dream of an urban planning revolution and glimpses of the past identity of the city of Litzmannstadt, which gives a chance for green areas to become their binding element. The author studied the dependency between memorial sites and green spaces in the landscape of Bałuty in terms of composition as a narrative tool within space.
