THE GREEN CITY OF LODZ
Publiczne
Gimnazjum nr 15
Lodz, March 2011
Do you know
what the most
characteristic
colour of Lodz is?
Paweł
Tomaszewski
M A D E
Everybody may say
that Lodz is a grey
city because of its
textile factories
and smoking
chimneys – like in
the well-known
Michał
song.
Kotlicki
B Y
Somebody may say
that red is a
characteristic
colour of Lodz
because there are
a lot of red brick
buildings.
Bernard
Bednarczyk
In this presentation we
would like to convince
you that Lodz is also
known as a green city.
