They should add one more photo. 1989, at the end of the Soviet occupation and then you will understand why nobody wants the fucking Russians occupying and influencing their countries.

Oh dear, these poor people! How can they live without constant noise pollution and without dirty air? Unbearable fate. Tragic.

To be honest. The last picture looks too sterile and lacking character. And The shops have become transparent.
But most importantly it has the mark of an elitist urban designer who goes everywhere by car and doesn't really use the spaces they design, otherwise they would have never missed to provide benches for walking people to rest. Especially the elderly and the obese.

Here are two photos of Plac Szczepański, another public space in Krakow, first in the 1960s(?) followed by the 2020s. It went from being a carpark to being a public square and splash park.

The removal of cars is awesome... the decrease in corner stores less so.
No real indication they’re gone.
The last photo has a different perspective where those shops on the left would be “behind” the camera.
Well noticed
As another user pointed out there is no indication they are gone.
The thing with street and store signage on a "car oriented" street is the signage needs to be big and visible from a drivers seat at a great distance.
When a street is taken back to "pedestrian traffic" the signage can be shrunk and be more inviting and geared towards eye level viewing.
If you look more carefully you can see that in the oldest photo cars are parked at parking places. In the newest photos the parking places appear to have been replaced by trees. Trees which were lacking in the oldest photo.
I guarantee there is a Zabka very close.
