Some cities already have such regulations
Landscape resolutions have been adopted by local governments for seven years, when the so-called landscape act. Landscape resolutions allow cities to decide on their own regarding the rules for placing media on their territory.
Ciechanów was one of the first local governments to adopt a landscape resolution. The resolution entered into force on May 21, 2016, but some of its provisions were questioned by the governor and the council had to make minor changes, e.g. attach a graphic attachment – a city plan divided into zones.
Łódź is the first voivodeship city that adopted a landscape resolution as early as in 2016, but has not yet enforced it.
However, so far only a few cities and municipalities have adopted regulations in this regard. And there are many reasons for that.
As experts explain, the problem is the very construction of resolutions, reconciling the order with the interests of business, and then great problems with enforcing in practice the provisions of local government spatial codes.
