Description
Summary:The authors undertook to examine and analyse the changes in the relief in Łódź city centre over a period of over one hundred years. Archival cartographic resources containing morphometric information and contemporary laser scanning data (LIDAR) are used to analyse changes. This required appropriate transformation of these data to generate a differential relief map. Information on the geographical environment (waters, relief) is linked to the spatial development of the city. The analyses revealed several characteristic types of changes occurring in the area, which are presented in the form of case studies.
