Gdańsk is the harbour city with a history of more than 1000 years. For many centuries the harbour structures were evolving within the central part of the historic city centre, and – in result – a specific urban structures associated with these functions were created. But the evolution of the maritime technology as well as new needs regarding servicing the ships and cargo-handling activities effected in creation of the more modern facilities. Within the article a reflection regarding these issues is presented, which takes into account both the global trends in harbour developments and local specifics of the city. In result, the article can serve as the reference paper for research associated with evolution of the ports and port cities
