The author analyses selected examples of contemporary built residential development projects in locations close to the historical city centre of Wrocław that create a new architectural frame around the waterfronts of the Oder River. The ambitious works of architecture, constituting a contemporary interpretation of the atmosphere and tradition of the place, introduce new values into the unique space of the waterfronts, remaining in accord with the new philosophy of cultural heritage.
