This holds particular significance in urban contexts where it is vital for citizens to be informed about local issues as an integral element of urban discourse in the public sphere. With the growth of digital media, concerns about the quality of media content are increasing. This study investigates media perspectives on the quality of urban discourse, drawing on interviews with 51 journalists across four countries (Ireland, Netherlands, Poland and the United Kingdom). The findings underscore the immense potential of local journalism in shaping interactions between local government and citizens. While digital media has led to an explosion of content availability, it also poses challenges in providing reliable information to citizens. The study reviews these challenges and proposes solutions to enhance the quality of urban discourse.

The rapidly growing number of cars and a range of urban problems related to vehicular communication are in the area of interest for increasing number of regional decision-making institutions [6]. The problem of parking, which is an important spatial issue is becoming increasingly difficult to resolve. One of the tools by which the city can control the problem of parking both in the center and on the outskirts is the introduction of parking policya strategy that determines what solutions should be adopted to reduce the number of cars. Especially in medium-sized cities dealing with parking problem is a fairly new issue and it mostly includes resolutions that introduce paid parking zones and pedestrian zones or outsources expertise in the field of communication. The study examined documents, resolutions, parking policies and all other available materials concerning parking in 379 cities located in 16 regions. Cities of more than 10 000 inhabitants were analyzed. The aim of this study is an overview and analysis of parking policies implemented by Polish cities. The texts of studies, master plans, resolutions and notices that create a strategy for parking in various cities were analyzed as a part of this study.

The analyses were based on available literature and the author's inventory of housing estates in Wroclaw in terms of technical modernization of buildings and improvement of the functional and spatial program. This paper is a general review and the individual activities are connected to examples from other Polish and European cities, with particular emphasis on energy efficiency, ecology and adaptation of housing estates to contemporary challenges of civilization.

The goal of the research was to determine the dynamics and direction of changes in shaping the traditional commercial structure of small towns, in the context of discount shops location. The subject matter of the research constituted more than ten towns in southern Poland. Traditional shops located there were analysed in terms of their location, the profile and length of their activity. Studies on global trade development processes are available, as well as detailed research results on individual trade assumptions. On the other hand, there is a research gap regarding studies involving the location of commercial buildings, especially in small towns. The research results are a valuable source of information for representatives of various scientific disciplines as well as city authorities. The presented research provides knowledge and constitutes the basis for further research for...
