Gdańsk urban development and administration tensions

Overview

The city of Gdańsk has undergone a period of significant tension regarding urban planning and municipal management. Following a large-scale public consultation process where officials processed over 4,000 comments, the city updated its general development plan. This update included increasing green areas by 30 hectares to address resident feedback, though Mayor Aleksandra Dulkiewicz noted that some land near the Lech Wałęsa Gdańsk Airport might be reserved for expansion.

Despite these adjustments, public dissatisfaction escalated into organized demonstrations. On October 21, 2026, protesters held the ‘Star March’ in front of City Hall to voice grievances against the administration. Key issues cited by residents and councilors included housing shortages, traffic congestion, and the allocation of public funds. Specific concerns were raised regarding municipal investments, such as the maintenance of the Siennicki Bridge, the impact of a planned tram route on residential buildings, the future of the Alfa Centre in Przymorze, and the protection of local greenery.
