**4. Discussion**/**Proposed Solutions**

The planned development of the project-related area located in Zabłocie Street is to provide answers to the above-posed research question: Whether the change in the development of downtown riverside areas will positively influence the surrounding community and contribute to the creation of a local centre? A newly designed multifunctional complex will fill in the space in the existing buildings providing services and having representative functions (Cricoteka, Qubus Hotel, Cracow Academy-Akademia Krakowska) (Figure 18). The conditions for the localisation of the new object are that it must have a supplementary character matching the existing building development, it must comply with the requirements of the Local Plan and must not cross the boundaries of the building development marked in the drawing of the local site plan.

**Figure 18.** Design concept in the context of surrounding building development: (1) Project-related area; (2) Crikoteka; (2) Qubus Hotel; (3) Cracow Academy (elaborated by E. Latusek).
