Traditional sectors of industry were limited or completely reduced. Mining and steelworks sectors were touched by this process In Upper Silesian region while in Łódź it was textile sector. Contemporary metropolization is causing further changes, also in landscape. In cities of Upper Silesian conurbation old mining areas has been changed into modern cultural, services and recreation areas. Old textile factories in Łódź are getting new functions during revitalization. Industrial traditions as a part of local heritage became crucial for growth of postindustrial tourism.
