The latest Quaestiones Geographicae 38(2) (series Human Geography and Spatial Management) is devoted to the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Poznań geographical centre. The development and the international popularisation of its achievements are strictly connected to the journal Quaestiones Geographicae, founded in 1974. This is a double anniversary volume because the 100th commemoration of founding the Poznań University (at present Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań – AMU) coincides with the 45th anniversary of creating the journal.
The issue comprises articles describing the output of Poznań socio-economic geographers, among others by Jerzy Parysek, Benicjusz Głębocki and Jacek Kotus with their teams, Anna Kołodziejczak, Emilia Jaroszewska and also the cycle of articles which are the result of the cooperation between the Poznań geographical centre and foreign scientists. The first of them, Alexander Druzhinin, president of the Association of Russian Social Geographers (ARGO), discusses the role of the sea as a factor of socio-economic dynamics of today’s Russia. The Hungarian authors, György Csomós i Balázs Bodnár, explore the relationship between the creation of intermodal passenger terminals and urban development, using the case of Debrecen. In turn, the article by Barbary Maćkiewicz, Raúl Puente Asuero and Antonio Garrido Almonacid results from the collaboration between Poznań and Spanish geographers. The volume closes with the article by Justyna Chodkowska-Miszczuk which tackles the issue of sustainable development.
