Miasteczko Wilanów Warsaw, Poland RAPID GROWTH WITHOUT SPRAWL
Miasteczko Wilanów (MW) urbanistically is the largest post communist development in Central Europe. It is ongoing on 169 hectares within the boundaries of the city of Warsaw. A city shattered during the 20th century by two wars, over the last two decades Warsaw has too often been developed in an opportunistic, short term, incoherent way. MW is a modern edition of the European urban morphology of enduring value which Warsaw lost during the last century: a truly mixed use, socially inclusive, mid rise, architecturally rich, ungated, street and pedestrian oriented district. Intended to represent the promise of democracy the community drew together investors of vastly different backgrounds, and initially vastly different approaches. Now home to over 25,000 residents of different generations and backgrounds. Characteristics of the site at completion: FAR 1.4, 11,000 inhabitants/km². The community has the lowest crime rate in Warsaw and the highest birthrate. The new district also established a national record for voter turnout in 2010.
