Mirów, Warsaw

Mirów (Polish pronunciation: [ˈmiruf]) is one of the central neighbourhoods in the Wola district of Warsaw, the capital of Poland.The present-day territory of Mirów was once occupied by a jurydyka called Wielopole,[1] a self-governing town and exclave of Warsaw, just outside the city's borders.In the early 20th century and during the interbellum period (1918–1939), it was gradually redeveloped with large houses and tenements, characteristic to the big capitals of Europe.After the war it was not rebuilt, and instead a large tower block residential estate with Soc-Realist buildings was constructed which was to meet the house supply shortages for the incoming new residents from other parts of Poland.Contemporary Mirów has undergone a major transformation and is now primarily a commercial neighbourhood, with office buildings and skyscrapers abundant within its borders.
