Abstract

The growth of industry after World War II and related internal migrations brought the changes in urban planning in the Silesia region. New residential zones were built in the socialistic spirit.

The aim of this article is to show architect’s work in planning the urban space and the way, how the place for the churches was found in the cites and estates in diocese of Katowice during the communism times.
