The main goal of this article is to assess changes in land use in recent industrial areas as a result of the implementation of market economy principles. Krakow has been chosen as an example because industrial production had a leading economic function under the centrally planned socialist economy. The author analyses in greater depth two selected urban blocks (spatial units surrounded by roads) situated in one of the 26 industrial-warehouse units that existed in the 1980s at a distance of 1.3–2 kilometres from the Main Market Square. He made use of various materials obtained during field research he carried out for his dissertation in 1983 and for this article, in August 2011. They enabled him to trace the evolution of land use over a period of nearly 30 years. His research uncovers essential changes in land use of the urban blocks analysed. Extensively used industrial and railway areas have been replaced by service areas (e.g. administrative, trade, tourist), residential areas (with multi-occupant high-standard housing), transport areas (road transport) as well as green spaces with modern architectural forms and technological designs.

Last year Paul Krugman was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science for his analysis of trade patterns and location of economic activity. The paper deals with the significant elements of his scientific works, the basic assumptions incorporated in the models, particularly economy of scale and imperfect competition. The new approach to trade theory is introduced based on the explanation why intra-industry trade occurs between similar countries. The core-periphery model is considered as a starting point of the new economic geography with far-reaching consequences for further economic research. Other contributions to economic theory are mentioned such as the analysis of international monetary policy, the study of currency crises, target zone of exchange rates etc.

The paper discusses development problems and challenges posed by the increasing concentration of population and economic activity on the international, national, regional and local scale. The processes of urbanization and concentration of population and economic activity in development centers and, especially, large cities progress dynamically until the moment that the income per head reaches the level of about USD 3,500. Then, they slow down and spread into the neighboring areas. Demographic concentration is faster than economic concentration and the pace and scale of convergence processes vary. The convergence of consumption indicators takes place faster than the convergence of any other economic development indicators, and the convergence of the standards of living as well as the concentration of economic activity occur most swiftly on the local scale. In step with economic growth location becomes less crucial for households but more and more important for businesses. A suitable instrument for measuring demographic and economic densities is the agglomeration index.
