Sady Żoliborskie (Polish: ['sadɨ ʐɔli'bɔrskʲɛ]) is a neighbourhood and an area of the City Information System in Żoliborz, Warsaw. It is a residential area, with mostly medium to high density housing.

History

Sady Żoliborskie was integrated into Warsaw as a part of Żoliborz in 1916.[1]

In the late 1950s construction began on two new neighbourhoods - Zatrasie and Sady Żoliborskie. The latter, designed by Halina Skibniewska, became famous for its greenery, which was conserved when the neighbourhood was constructed.[2][3] The flats were one of the first in Poland that were built with the disabled and the elderly in mind.[2]

In 1992 due to backlash from the residents over plans to build more apartments in the place of the orchards a park was built instead.[4]

During the 2010s, many new apartment blocks collectively called the Artistic Żoliborz were constructed in the southern part of Sady Żoliborskie, concentrated around Powązkowska Street.[5][6]
