I enjoyed my time living in Trojmiasto - a few years in Gdansk, and a few in (the outskirts of) Gdynia. One day I'll move back and make it my forever-home.
With that said - "poets wrote of the city’s machinery and its modernist architecture" - who in their right mind would appreciate anything concerning the architecture of (central) Gdynia? It's a bleak collection of square concrete blocks with heavy traffic snaking its way in-between the buildings... It sucks to walk in, it sucks to stay in, and generally it just sucks to be in.
