This paper presents an original proposal of the development of Marszałka Józefa Piłsudskiego Square in Warsaw. A place, whose historical, urban, and identity-related significance cannot be overestimated. The fate of this urban interior throughout the past two centuries have been marked with constant transformation and its current form is a matter of debate. This proposal has the character of a personal reflection by an architect, a resident of Warsaw and a designer sensitive to humanist needs.

The phenomenon of churching (attendance at churches outside parishes of residence) is associated with socio-economic and cultural transformations of society, including general growth of mobility. In this paper titular issue was described against the background of the concept of the life of a city and according to the concept of place. On the ground of the data gained, the presence of churching in the Old Town area in Poznań and its dimensions were primarily proved. This work is an introduction to an empirical research, concerning spatial behaviour of churching people and possible impact of their decisions on city centre functions.
