As an attempt to address the present vulnerability of the once resilient historic city centres-of which Kraków Old Town is a luminous example-this paper tends to be a voice in the debate on the post-2020 planning and the strategies we will need to face the subsequent waves of this, or other, pandemics as well as consequences of climate change.Ĭonsensus exists on the importance of local identity and diversity in the sustainability discourse, including community resilience. The results are set against the background of the city’s current policies regarding economic recovery, mobility and accessibility to urban green areas. From the results of pre-pandemic processes (that, as we argue, turned the city into its disneyfied version), to the lockdown (that later revealed itself to be but the first one in a row), to the post-lockdown recovery, these changes are presented in modified figure-ground diagrams with accessibility being defined by both tangible and intangible properties. It describes how the disneyfied main part of the UNESCO heritage site of universal values turned into a ghost town as functional changes were turning into physical ones amid restrictions. Conforms with Van Den Broecke 1575L1, which states that 100 copies were printed.This paper presents the geography of the historic central district of Kraków, Poland before, during and after the first wave of the 2020 pandemic.

Copper engraving In stunning original hand color, image size 19 3/4 x 13 1/4' paper size 20 3/4 x 16 1/8'. As the first commercially successful atlas published, it marked the beginning of the golden age of Dutch cartography which lasted until the end of the 17th century. It was translated into six other languages - German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, and English. This copy bears a crossed arrow watermark, which dates the paper as having been made in 1571 (Heawood Watermarks, p64 number 46.) Ortelius's atlas and world map was subsequently issued in 33 editions over 41 years.

Other geographical features include New Guinea being separated from Terra Australis and a distinct North West and North East Passage (to encourage exploration?) This map is the second state of the first printing, which can be identifed by the signature of the engraver, Fransciscus Hogenbergus (Franz Hogenberg) below the Cicero quote (center right) and the presence of a small crack that developed in the lower left corner of the copper plate. Many geographical features are erroneously exaggerated, including the South Polar region, where Magellan's reports are incorporated into 'Terra Australis Nondum Cognita', encompassing the bottom third of the world. Based on a large 21 sheet map published the year before by Gerard Mercator, these maps record the century of exploration in the New World.

The map was first published in 1570 in 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum'. The first world map to appear in what is considered the first modern world atlas. First plate, second state, with Latin text on verso. Īntwerp: Aegidius Coppenius Diesth, 1575.
