Estetyka współczesnego miasta – problem visual i light pollution
Aesthetics of a contemporary city – visual and light pollution

Summary/Abstract: Pollution of the urban space, both visual and light, is a growing problem and appears in practically every city. It poses both an aesthetic and ecological threat. There is a lack of legal measures that would regulate the question of intervention in the urban space. Thus, the layout of advertising signs is extremely important because our cities are cluttered with various hoardings and billboards. We can observe it especially in city centers but also on the outskirts where advertising is even less ordered and more chaotic. The problem of visual and light pollution is becoming omnipresent, and the latter one is a matter of concern not only for environmentalists and astronomers but also for all the people who want their cities to be aesthetic and safe.
