Lodz is the second largest urban centre in Poland with a population of about 900,000.
Lodz is located in the very centre of Poland, and still remains particularly favourable for the development of trade.
Lodz lies on the border between the catchment areas of the Vistula and the Odra Rivers, so locally there are only some smaller rivers and brooks and these are usually hidden underground.
Lodz is entering a new period of prosperity at the turn of the 20th century.
Lodz is one of the major scientific and research centers in the country and has seven state universities.
The Lodz branch of the Polish Academy of Sciences is engaged in numerous research projects in chemistry and microbiology and is highly regarded by the international scientific community.
