milky: ttp://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9817/polskanutsludnosc.jpg The places in dark blue (Poland B) are also the places were property prices have remained at 2007 prices, as the majority of property there, is purchased by Poles working in the West. This is one major difference between A and B.
This is old. It is demographical changes between 1995-2000.
I am looking for something new. MANY things have changed with money from EU.
Harry: So to Mark Lodz is Poland B.
Well, the situation in Lodz is not very good.

During communism this monoculture of textile industry was even depened. After 89' all that collapsed and due to growing competition from Asia it never has been rebuilded.
On the other hand city seemed to have bad luck regarding local gov. and for a long time it couldn't attract investors to develop new economic model. What is more next to £ód¼ is the biggest Polish attractor = Warsaw what depened £ód¼ troubles by getting people out of the city (to what zetigrek was reffering).
So during last two decades £ód¼ fell from Polish second city to the third position (in terms of population) and still keeps falling.
To be not entirely dire about the place, there is a hope, because due central position on the map all main infrastructural projects has £ód¼ as a centre. Taking into account that it is close to already expensive Warsaw and also much cheaper than other big cities, maybe £ód¼ will rebound in coming years.
