The socialist tangible heritage of Nowa Huta as the local economic asset

Abstract

The article analyses the process of interpreting the cultural and economic values of the socialist tangible heritage of Nowa Huta – a former town, today a district of Krakow. The objective of the article is to define the scope of interest of both public and commercial entities in the creation of products and services which are related to the place’s heritage and which make use of this resource. Another goal is to indicate the forms and scope of use of Nowa Huta heritage resources. On the basis of the determined facts, it can be stated that the socialist heritage of Nowa Huta may become one of the elements of its new economic structure, which has emerged as a result of the economic transition after the fall of socialism. However, the process of creating heritage products must be sustainable in the long run and must be conducted while suitably interpreting the qualities of the heritage, respecting it and commemorating events included in it.
