Leicester Plans for Her Future: A Glimpse into the Visionary Mind of Konrad Smigielski, Leicester's 1960s Planning Officer (1964) In this evocative photograph, Konrad Smigielski, the dedicated planning officer of Leicester City Council during the 1960s, is seen engrossed in his plans for the future of the city. The image, taken in 1964, captures a moment of deep concentration as Smigielski studies the intricate details of his blueprints, spread out before him on a table. The room is filled with the soft glow of natural light filtering through the windows, casting long shadows that add to the sense of quiet intensity. At a time when urban planning was undergoing a significant transformation, Smigielski was at the forefront of Leicester's efforts to shape its future. His innovative ideas and forward-thinking approach were instrumental in shaping the city's post-war landscape, with a focus on creating modern, functional spaces that catered to the needs of its growing population. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of a town planner in the 1960s, a time of great change and progress. Smigielski's unwavering commitment to Leicester's future is palpable, as he meticulously studies the plans that would shape the city's destiny for generations to come. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role that town planners play in shaping the built environment, and the enduring impact of their vision and dedication.
