Improved public transport, the development of medical and recreational services, and a growing number of properties for sale in Katowice – this is, in short, how the city's investment plans, due to be carried out in the near future, can be described. Which changes will make Katowice an even better place to live than before?
The first interchange in Ligota
The contract for the project has been signed. By this time next year, the first of several planned interchanges for city transport is due to be operating in Ligota. The interchanges are meant to improve residents' journeys to the centre, reduce the number of cars on the roads, and cut noise, traffic jams and exhaust emissions. The Ligota interchange is to be built near the PKP railway station on the railway line leading to Tychy and Bielsko-Biała. It will include, among other things, a passenger service area, bus platforms with canopies, waiting rooms and a surface car park with about 110 spaces.
More and more homes
One could talk for a long time about new developments of flats for sale, so let us look at some selected examples. For instance, the Dolina Trzech Stawów (Three Ponds Valley). The area around this recreation and sports complex is developing very intensively today. If you are looking for a flat for sale in Katowice on the Paderewskiego estate, you have certainly come across the Dolina Trzech Stawów more than once. This picturesque park is located in precisely that part of the city. New multi-family residential development is also soon to appear on the site at ul. Zawiszy Czarnego.
Three new swimming pools
The city will gain further facilities for water-sports enthusiasts. Construction of swimming pools in Szopienice and Brynów will begin shortly, and a contractor for the third is still to be selected. The pools will replace the one large aquapark that the city originally had in its plans. As a result, all residents, regardless of district, will have access to a swimming pool no more than 5 km from home.
A paediatric trauma centre
Its construction at the Upper Silesian Child Health Centre in Katowice will continue until the end of the year. The hospital was chosen for its high reputation, modern equipment and very good connections with the whole voivodeship. The centre will allow comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of severe multi-organ injuries in children and young people.
