The transformation of Lemberg from a decaying Baroque town to a vibrant city by 1914 highlights the interplay of architecture, public space, and politics during the Habsburg era. This study explores how the city's center evolved into a modern showcase, reflecting conflicting identities, while neglected areas remained overcrowded. It examines the duality of Lemberg as both cosmopolitan and provincial, revealing how its physical spaces became intertwined with cultural and political narratives amidst the backdrop of national and historical changes.
