In early September 2026, preparations were made for a mayoral debate in Kraków focused on the future of the Nowa Huta district. Organized by the Wspólnota Wartości association, the event aimed to address local concerns regarding transport, housing, employment, and security for the area’s 200,000 residents.

During the debate, candidates presented various visions for the district. Jan Hoffman proposed transforming former industrial lands into a modern technology hub, specifically mentioning drone manufacturing and research facilities, as an alternative to warehouses or tourism-centric developments. Other participants, including Michał Drewnicki and Sławomir Pietrzyk, highlighted their local connections and professional experience in relation to the district’s development.
