Abstract
The article emphasizes potential of public urban squares. The attention is focused on squares of the city of Gdansk which constitute the potential for enhancing the image of the city. Presentation of three examples of small scale intervention in the Montreal's public spaces is depicting such a potential and is underlining different roles the public space can perform in the city structure. Revitalization of urban squares is influencing transformations of the municipal landscape. Small squares, as the element strongly connected with the city structure, have a chance to become visible and recognizable places. By introducing new elements into the downtown landscape and acting in a small scale, they can become points which create the local identity of transformed areas.
