Old Meets New: The second life of industrial Silesia | TVP World Special Report

How the legacy of Silesia’s mines and steelworks continues to influence contemporary life?

TVP World presents Old Meets New, a report by Aleksandra Fudala exploring how Poland’s industrial heritage is being transformed for a new era. The report focuses on Upper Silesia, a region shaped by mining and heavy industry for generations. Among the sites featured is the historic silver mine in Tarnowskie Góry, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that stands as a reminder of the region’s industrial significance.

The story also looks at the future of a former ironworks complex, where plans are underway to create a new Center of Transformation – a space dedicated to culture, education, professional retraining, and community life.

From educational projects and cultural initiatives to fashion events inspired by industrial aesthetics, Old Meets New shows how former industrial facilities receive a second life.
