*2.10. Research on Greenery Elements*

The preliminary analyses related to the study area provoked a number of questions, one of which is concerned with the lack of the appropriate development plan for Podolski Boulevard. The detailed assessment of the existing condition revealed that an intended space of historical commemoration was to be the Boulevard of Allied Forces Pilots (Bulwar Lotników Alianckich). Today, this area is still wasteland (Figure 10) (overgrown with grass and high greenery) despite the fact that nearby there are new apartment buildings and the Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Higher School in Cracow. Only a plaque with the boulevard name stresses the significance of the area. Because of the fact that Zabłocie is characterised by the high-density housing development of the city centre, and yet does not have a payable parking zone, today the boulevard is often used as a "wild" car park.
