POLAND ~ Gdynia - UNESCO ~

... Nice aerial view of a city transformed from a small fishing village into Poland’s major Baltic seaport during the interwar period between 1920 and 1939... known as one of the world's best-preserved, large-scale examples of an early 20th-century planned port city and interwar modernist urban planning... the Modernist City Centre covers approximately 88 hectares and is made up of nearly 450 buildings... it has clean geometric forms, streamlined façades, rounded corners inspired by ocean liners, and functional designs... Thanks Marcel!ヽ(•‿•)ノ
