The City of Lodz
Today's Lodz with the population of eight hundred thousand is a city in which all roads lead to Piotrkowska Street - a seven kilometre promenade and commercial centre, the longest such street in Europe. In this street there are public administration offices, most important institutions, banks, churches, hotels, cinemas, also half of the number of the Lodz shops, most galleries and book-shops, the best restaurants, coffee bars and pubs. "Putting all in Piotrkowska is Lodz-dweller's perpetual goal", however, it is certainly not possible to move the whole metropolis into one street.

Łódź is Poland's second largest city (population 767,628 in 2006). It is located in the centre of the country and serves as the capital of the Łódź Voivodeship. The coat of arms of Łódź is canting, i.e. it contains a boat, alluding to the city's name which literally means "a boat" in Polish.
