The map
Knurów is a town in Silesia, in the Gliwice area of the Upper Silesian industrial region. Its identity grew around coal mining, and the map reflects the rapid growth of the twentieth century: large housing estates with long blocks set at regular angles, broad roads connecting them, and industrial sites on the edges. Between these parts lie patches of green, woodland and open ground.
The town's layout is less a single old core than a set of districts added over time, each with its own geometry. Older family houses sit in narrower streets, while post-war estates form bold rectangles on the map. Railway lines and main roads cut through the area, linking Knurów with Gliwice, Rybnik and the rest of the Silesian conurbation.
A Knurów map poster brings out the rhythm of these estates, with repeated building footprints creating a strong graphic pattern. The lighter green areas at the edges soften the composition, and the road network ties everything together. It is a portrait of a working town, honest about its shape and history.
Large post-war residential blocks form regular rectangles across the town, and their repeated footprints create the most striking graphic texture on the map.
Coal mining shaped the town's growth, and former and current industrial sites appear as large, distinct areas at the edges of the residential districts.
Woodland and open ground surround parts of Knurów, giving the dense town centre a softer frame and separating it from neighbouring Silesian towns.
