Iga was inspired by the design of the new city extension of Toulouse-Le Mirail planned by
Tomaszewska three members ( Candilis-Woods-Josic) from the rebellious (as opposing CIAM) and
influential group called Team X.
On 24 July 1973, the official start of construction works was marked by laying the
cornerstone for Zaspas first kindergarten. The beginning was promising. As the first
neighbourhood in Gdańsk, Zaspa was planned in a complex way’ (the utterance mean-
ing that all of the facilities residents need are built at the same time).
The time of the Soviet regime was a hard period in Polish urban planning. The
design from 1969 was undeniably a breath of fresh air in that field. Hordynskis design
was closer to Western than Eastern layouts. Unfortunately, it was a wasted chance. In
the end, most of the ideas were revised or abandoned. Nowadays, Zaspa is starting to
recover with an unusual gallery’ of murals painted on concrete slabs.
