MULTI-TOWER SYSTEMS OF RAILROAD WATER TOWERS – UNIQUENESS, RELATIONS AND IMPACTS IN KĘDZIERZYN-KOŹLE AND KOSTRZYN ON THE ODER

The purpose of this article is an attempt to answer the question posed about the special value of railway water towers both as individual objects and as multi-tower complexes. In the course of research based on quantitative and qualitative methods, the research problem was considered in three variants, which are the impacts of towers on the environment, their mutual relations and relations resulting from the saturation of the city with towers. Modeling, statistics and case studies were used in the research, and the results made it possible to formulate answers to the studied problem or at least formulate preliminary hypotheses as a contribution to future research.
