UNESCO adds Poland’s modernist port city of Gdynia to World Heritage List

UNESCO has officially recognized the modernist city center of Gdynia, Poland, as a World Heritage Site, highlighting its unique urban planning and architecture from the interwar period. The designation was made during the 48th session of the World Heritage Committee in Busan, South Korea, marking Poland's 18th such site. This recognition coincides with Gdynia's centenary celebration of being granted city rights in 1926. The city was developed rapidly by the newly independent Polish state into a major Baltic seaport, growing from a small fishing village to a significant maritime hub. The city's modernist architecture and urban design have been preserved despite avoiding the wartime destruction that affected other cities like Warsaw and Gdańsk.
