We present a project of constructing an electronic dictionary of Polish urban proper names. The dictionary describes inflection and variants of proper names and links them with city objects. Moreover, we classify proper names according to their former, common, official, or spoken usage. We present tools which we use for the creation of the dictionary, and an analysis of Warsaw toponyms gathered for description.
