Green space in major cities across Poland is a prime target for developers. There is now a battle to preserve this space for the public. Although difficult to compete with business interests, one of the largest potential locations for new buildings is located next to the Palace of Culture. Long been used as a parking lot and makeshift buildings, a recent suggestion was made to create a "Central Park in Warsaw". The idea gained so much support that the once tongue in cheek suggestion has now become a serious proposal. There is a gathering on the day Poland celebrates its 100th year of Independence to push for real political consideration of this idea.
