This paper deal with the possibilities of architectural design in the process of creating a zoro-energy city,which encompasses environmental quality of life in highly-urbanized areas.Nowadays,the urban pollution is rising on a global scale.This problem is particularly noticeable in Poland.According to the latest WHO report,36 of the 50 most polluted cities in the European Union are located in Poland.The paper is focused on a new possibility to resolve the problem of air pollution in developing polish cities by advanced architectural design.One of the examples of cities implementing the zero-energy strategy may be Szczecin.In the process of designing new urban districts in the post-industrial area of the Miedzyodrze Islands new opportunities to implement energy self-sufficiency can be given.The first part of the paper presents the need to use renewable energy sources and technologies that clean the atmosphere from nitrogen oxides in the processes of revitalization of degraded urban areas.The second part presents the results of the research program Climate Change Adapted Architecture and Building Structures which has been conducted by Krystyna Januszkiewicz (the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture for a few years at West Pomeranian University of Technology (WPUT) in Szczecin.The presented designs of application of titanium dioxide technology with photovoltaic technology were developed with co-operation of WPUT students.In conclusion,the paper emphasizes the usage of titanium technology and photovoltaic technology as a special independent structures in the urban space.This is indispensable to improve citizens' health and to clear the atmosphere as well as to stop the emission of new pollution resulting from the dynamic development of polish cities.
