Abstracts

EN

First shopping malls were established in the 1930s in the United States, in Western Europe, they appeared in the 1950s, and in Poland - in the 1990s. The creation of shopping malls resulted from suburbanisation processes, development of satellite systems around large cities, growing transport diffi culties connected with getting to downtown centres, as well as with an increasing number of motorist and diversifi cation of consumer needs. First facilities were of service and commercial character, but during their evolution next generations of malls have been developed (form the 1st to the 5th). In Poland, there are over 400 malls (2014). The pace of development of shopping malls in Poland is characterised by the most dynamic growth observed among European countries. It is probably related to limited legal regulations restricting this domain and a considerable interest from investors. Shopping malls have become an inseparable element of modern agglomerations and cities in Poland. The aim of the paper was to identify the types of shopping malls location in Poland and local policy of their development.
