Olympics bid when the whole tell is we paved over the tank route is so perfect. You don't frame landscaping as progress unless the setup was always infrastructure means future not reckoning and suddenly green space is just the win that made erasing the square sound like development instead of admitting you're pitching IOC voters on a palace Stalin built.
Once an asphalt desert designed for columns of Soviet tanks, the old Parade Square surrounding the palace has had a green makeover. Further development is planned to bolster Warsaw's bid for the 2040 summer Olympics.
