Łódź is a city in central Poland, developed by people from four cultures who lived and worked together in an atmosphere of common tolerance. Poles, Jews, Germans and Russians left their mark on the impressive urban development of Łódź in the 19th century. This former industrial centre is full of red-brick factories, factory owners’ mansions and astonishing artistic installations. One of them is the first city power plant put into operation in 1907 and served the city inhabitants until the beginning of the 21st century. In 2008 began the revitalization of its historic building situated in the area of the New Center of Łódź. In December this place will host the Ministerial Council of the OSCE.
