Abstract
AbstractThe aim of the study is to determine the changes in the Polish urban and rural system over the past 30 years of political and economic changes. The main drivers of these changes are as follows: the development of the market economy (especially in the housing sector), the processes of economic globalisation, the reintroduction of local government, international and internal migrations, as well as EU and national policies targeting urban and rural areas. The study of urban and rural system was conducted with regard to four subgroups: large cities (metropolises), their functional areas, medium and small towns, and rural areas. These subsystems are subject to various functional and spatial processes, the most important of which are metropolisation and suburbanisation in relation to large cities, deindustrialisation and changes in administrative functions in medium-sized cities, and finally depopulation, deagrarianisation and multifunctional development in small towns and rural areas.KeywordsPolandUrban systemLarge citiesSuburban zonesMedium-sized citiesRural areas
