Summary/Abstract: The analysis of the circumstances of the creation of Wrocław’s Kuźniki housing estate sheds light on a fragment of the postwar history of the town, which started to spread east after 1970. The economic and political situation of the time had decisive influence on architecture and urban planning, but the cosy Kuźniki estate stood out from other large-scale projects carried out in the same period thanks to the individualist approach to visual form and the harmony between the urban composition and the landscape.
