Narodziny kierunku i początki kształcenia w zakresie gospodarki przestrzennej w Uniwersytecie im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu

The content of the presented paper consists a short reconstruction of the genesis and beginning of educational process in spatial management at the A. Mickiewicz University in Poznań. It is kind of personal reflection on this initial period, made by a person taking part in this project from the beginning until now. Both reconstruction and reflection have, of course, subjective character and have been made from the perspective of 25 years of asctivity. Particular attention is devoted to the origins of education, the struggle for recognition of spatial management, as a direction of study, the supplementation of the education profile and “values added” carried out activity.
