Abstract
Abstract Multifunctional allotment gardens are an important part of the green infrastructure of cities. In spite of this, they are given little attention in the plans and policies of cities. One of the major threats to the existence of allotment gardens within the spatial structure of cities is the pressure of investment, which results from an underestimation of the role of gardens. The task of preserving allotment gardens in the ecosystems of cities rests with the local spatial planning. Urban spatial policy towards allotment gardening is exemplified by the case study of Poznan. The bases for the analysis include the study of the conditions and directions of spatial planning, as the spatial policy document that sets forth the city and local spatial development plans, which are Acts of local laws.

The allotment gardens have been covered by local spatial development plans, in which there is a change in land use in place of the gardens, the vast majority of them still exists as allotment gardens, for example, the “Zjednoczeni” and “Olszynka” Family Allotment Gardens (Fig. 1) for which the MPZP “Smochowice-Sianowska” provides the change from the current form of land use into housing and service development
Summary
The benefits of the operation of green areas in the city are widely noticeable. For city dwellers, they are areas for recreation and relaxation (Jim, Chen 2006), providing positive aesthetics and meeting social needs. Allotment gardens play a significant role in this system They are an important element of urban green infrastructure (Breuste 2010), and provide a lot of benefits to their users as well as other inhabitants of the cities (Kronenberg et al 2013, Langemeyer et al 2016), but above all the provisioning services, which is the food supply The most important studies at the local level include the study of the conditions and directions of spatial development (SUiKZP1) and local plans of spatial development (MPZP2) The provisions of these documents apply to allotment gardens, as the objects in the spatial structure of the city, which are the subject for spatial planning. The position of allotment gardens in urban areas is determined by legal regulations, local spatial and environmental policy as well as local laws. The community’s task includes the development of planning documents, which determine the directions of spatial development
