Field trip started at the campus of the Jagiellonian University where the academic function was described as crucial city shaping factor. The view from the roof of the building helped showing the struggles of large housing estate Ruczaj with the effects of acoustic screens. Next step was the Łagiewniki sanctuary where attendees discussed the pilgrimage function and infrastructure investment in this area. Next step was Stare Podgórze district, former independent town - supposedly the next victim of gentrification in Kraków. Attendees took a walk from Podgórze to Zabłocie. Zabłocie is a former industrial site undergoing dramatic change connected to urban redevelopment project. The final stop was Nowa Huta (initialy independent socialist town created to balance (destroy?) Kraków.
