Lodz is medieval city which owes its rapid growth in the 19th century to the textile industry. The loss of eastern markets at the time of political and economic transformation in the 1990s resulted in a decline of this industry, which forced the city to seek new directions of development. Owing to convenient location in the centre of Poland, cheap and well-qualified labour, land industrial tradition, and a creation of strong academic centre, Lodz is overcoming the crisis, focusing on development new types of services.
