The Polish Senate will support Gdynia’s efforts to include the modernist urban planning of the city center on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The relevant resolution will be adopted during a meeting of two combined Senate committees — on territorial self-government, as well as on culture and media.
As reported by Senator Sławomir Rybicki, the meeting in Gdynia will be attended by the Marshal of the Senate Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, as well as the ministers of foreign affairs and culture.
— The scale of this event, that is, such a political, very powerful impulse from the Polish Senate, will undoubtedly strengthen Poland’s and Gdynia’s efforts to achieve this important decision from the World Heritage Committee, — he adds.
— The interest from the Senate is a great sign of respect for Gdynia. It is also support for this process with a strong emphasis, indicating that inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage list is not only a matter for Gdynia, but for our entire state and its culture, — emphasizes Aleksandra Koserek, the mayor of the city.
The meeting of the Senate committees in Gdynia will take place on May 27. A decision on the possible inclusion of Gdynia’s center on the UNESCO list is expected to be made in the second half of July.
