@polonopedia: Swipe to see Poland then and now 👉. In 2000, Poland was only eleven years removed from communist rule. Many city centres still carried neglected facades, ageing infrastructure and spaces shaped by decades of underinvestment. GDP per person stood at about $4,521, while unemployment reached 13.5 percent 🇵🇱. By 2026, the same streets tell a different story. Historic buildings have been restored, skylines reshaped, public spaces modernised and transport infrastructure expanded nationwide. Poland now has around 5,596 kilometres of motorways and expressways, including 1,950 kilometres of motorways 🏙️. The economic transformation is equally visible. GDP per person reached about $28,420 in 2025, more than six times its 2000 level in current dollars, while unemployment fell to 2.8 percent. These photographs capture twenty six years of rebuilding, investment and rapid modernisation 📈. Follow @polonopedia for more!
