Objectives: The purpose of this article is to show and highlight the selected development-related trends of urban areas in Poland, with particular emphasis put on the phenomena that constitute urban sprawl, and taking into consideration historical aspects of the urban sprawl. Research Design & Methods: The object of the study was Poland. The important base of the analysis was the historical evolution of the urban sprawl in Poland. The main research method is a comparative analysis based on historical examples in order to show the “roots” of the development processes of the urban sprawl in Poland as well as their characteristic features. Findings: As a result of the research, the authors have determined that the Polish urban sprawl is specific and results from historical changes, the mentality of Polish people, economic processes, and legal conditions (too liberal laws on spatial planning). Contribution / Value Added: This research adds to knowledge about the circumstances of the phenomenon of the urban sprawl in Poland, its evolution, and – above all – the degree of the individualisation of the causes and consequences of the Polish urban sprawl, which will allow decision-makers to adopt appropriate tools to support local development. Implications / Recommendations: Polish urban sprawl is specific due to the high degree of suburban urban chaos (disorganised, spontaneous development), which has negative economic, social, and environmental consequences. In connection with the consequences of urban sprawl, action should be two-fold: on the one hand, it is about organising stretched suburban areas, giving them new spatial, social, cultural, and economic values. Here, an important role is played by spatial and social planning; the search for axes crystallising the organisation of space, i.e. places around which development could concentrate, creating more focused and ordered areas. There is also a need for centres of social concentration that could create centres of social life. This role could be played by cultural institutions (e.g. libraries), educational institutions, or religious institutions. On the other hand, it is necessary to create conditions for a ‘return to the cities’ for those whose life situation has changed, e.g. if their children are of legal age and independent, or who grew up in the suburbs. The latter is very complex. It would be difficult to identify existing cities that have ‘recovered’ their inhabitants from suburban areas on a large scale. Infrastructural preparation is needed, i.e. some sort of the rebuilding of cities, especially their centres. What is needed is the development of services and recreational spaces as well as the creation of new opportunities and possibilities.

This paper responds primarily to current innovations that have emerged in urban development policy during the last decades also in East-Central Europe. Prior to the change of the social regime, we notice more traditional approaches in the urban development policy - public consumption, economic development and environmental issues. Among current urban development challenges in this region we may focus on governance, city regions, and financialisation. Besides an outline of a general framework, their application is studied in the case of Bratislava. We argue that especially economic development and environmental issues were neglected in the urban development policy during the socialist period. More elementary development issues obtained priority as policy positions during the early transition period. Taking up more current challenges was delayed compared with western cities, and they have specific features. Nevertheless, it seems that cities in this region recognised the importance of the mutually multiplying effects of governance, city regionalism and financialisation in an urban development policy.

The authors of the article raise important issues related to municipal water policy on the example of Kraków and Wrocław – two important metropolises in Poland. Urban water policy is presented in relation to public policies, water resources management and in the aspect of economic and social consequences of taking specific actions in the field of the city's spatial policy. The basis for formulating original conclusions are research conducted as part of the Water City Index – the first Polish ranking analyzing the efficiency of water resources management in Polish cities. This ranking was compiled annually in 2019-2021 using a similar quantitative methodology. The basis for the creation of this article were the works on quantitative indicators for the "index of water cities". All this made it possible to assess the effectiveness of water resources management in Kraków and Wrocław.

Autorzy artykułu poruszają istotne kwestie związane z miejską polityką wodną na przykładzie Krakowa i Wrocławia – dwóch ważnych metropolii w Polsce. Miejska polityka wodna jest przedstawiana w relacji do polityk publicznych, gospodarowania zasobami wodnymi oraz w aspekcie ekonomicznych i społecznych konsekwencji podejmowania określonych działań w zakresie polityki przestrzennej miasta. Podstawą do formułowania autorskich wniosków są badania przeprowadzone w ramach Water City Index – pierwszego polskiego rankingu analizującego efektywność gospodarowania zasobami wodny w polskich miastach. Ranking ten był opracowywany corocznie w latach 2019-2021 przy użyciu podobnej metodologii ilościowej. Podstawą do powstania niniejszego artykułu stały się prace nad wskaźnikami ilościowymi dla „indeksu miast wodnych”. Wszystko to umożliwiło ocenę efektywności gospodarowania zasobami wodnymi w Krakowie i Wrocławiu.
