PL
Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja i ocena kierunków zmian w zagospodarowaniu przestrzeni miejskiej w Polsce pod kątem jej zazieleniania i „odbetonowania”, jak również sformułowanie wstępnych rekomendacji w tym zakresie. Obiektem badań są wybrane polskie miasta: Warszawa, Kraków, Wrocław, Gdańsk, Katowice i Lublin. Podstawowe metody wykorzystane w badaniu to analiza literatury i materiałów źródłowych, analiza porównawcza oraz studium przypadku. W wyniku przeprowadzonego badania wyodrębniono trzy odmienne grupy działań podejmowanych w polskich miastach w celu walki z „betonozą”. Stwierdzono także, że pozostaje jeszcze duże pole do poszerzania tych działań, zarówno w zakresie narzędzi, jak i obszarów przestrzeni miejskiej objętych zmianami. Na koniec zaproponowano rekomendacje, które mogą ułatwić zaplanowanie i przeprowadzenie procesu „odbetonowania” i zazieleniania polskich miast.

The purpose of the paper was to identify and assess the directions of changes in the development of urban space in Poland in terms of greening and 'de-concreting' ('decementification'), as well as to formulate preliminary recommendations in this regard. The research selected the following Polish cities: Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, Gdańsk, Katowice, and Lublin. The primary methods used in the study were literature and source materials analysis, comparative analysis, and case study. As a result, three different groups of actions taken in Polish cities to fight 'concretosis' (cementification) were identified. It was also found that there is still a lot of scope for expanding these actions, both in terms of tools and areas of urban space affected by changes. Finally, the authors proposed recommendations that may facilitate Polish city planning, 'de-concreting', and greening.
