Abstract:

The article discusses the topic of spaces adjacent to houses in the oldest area of Nowa Huta, a district of Cracow established in the middle of the 20th century. These spaces are mostly courtyards, and especially household gardens located in those courtyards, e.g. at the front walls of houses, between the entryways or in the backyards, directly under apartment windows. Such gardens – separated spaces established and farmed by the residents of Nowa Huta – provide a basis for presenting the local community. The article constitutes an attempt at analysing the community through those domesticated patches of land, transformed by the residents’ actions into a place, i.e. a tamed space endowed with individual features and constituting a part of the life of individual residents and the community as a whole
