Abstract

A survey of the literature on the development and morphology of Polish towns by archaeologists, planners, historians and geographers is followed by a detailed investigation of the chronology of urban development in the north-east portion of medieval Little Poland and its borderlands. The morphological evolution of the largest city in the region, Lublin, is accorded more detailed investigation. Particular attention is paid to the phases of planned growth, the burgage cycle of the later medieval plots and the development of characteristic building types, and the evolution of the inner fringe belt. The growth and development of Lublin contrasts with that of other Polish cities located further west.
