Summary/Abstract: Changes in the industry and an increase in the meaning of services and the financial sector causes the temporary working environment to be strongly connected with offices. Therefore, office buildings and their concentrations are the main workplace in our cities. The aim of the article is to examine a business district based on the example of office building concentration in the vicinity of Strzegomska and Muchoborska Street in Wrocław (Poland). Spatial changes and the process of new urban tissue development are analysed. Functional and spatial structure of office building concentration in Wrocław is also investigated. Comparative analysis of historical data, spatial documents, and urban inventory are used as research method. Spatial identification and knowledge about office building concentration development are the main results. The conversion of post-industrial area into business district could be a solution to urban revitalisation and creation of a new city space.
