Gdynia stands as a modern myth of progress and national pride within the context of the Second Polish Republic.

Emerging from a small seaside village into a bustling port city during the interwar period, Gdynia became a symbol of Poland's rapid modernization and its aspirations for independence and prosperity. However, this transformation was also marked by deep political and economic tensions, revealing the complexities of Poland's socio-political landscape at the time.

The city's development encapsulated not only a triumph of infrastructure but also the struggles inherent in urban planning and the ideological narratives that shaped its growth. Gdynia’s mythos thus reflects both the aspirations and challenges of a nation in the throes of modernity, making it a powerful symbol of the interplay between progress, power, and political struggle.
