The paper is a critical literature review aiming at synthesising knowledge on shaping the service sector in urbanised areas. Starting from classical concepts of hierarchical service systems (Christaller, Lösch, Palomäki, Nowakowski) through considerations on the impact of teleinformatics on the services sector, to contemporary research on hierarchical -network spatial and functional structures (Ossowicz), the paper points to the role which can be played by local service centres in spatial planning. The five guidelines for urban planning describe crucial conditions which have to be met in order to generate a positive influence on land -use and the quality of life in urban neighbourhoods. The guidelines may be a starting point for empirical research and may play an inspiring role in local policy in urbanised areas.

In the current urban planning discourse much attention is paid to services provision in resi-dential areas (neighbourhoods). In the so called habitat a local service centre is defined as a multifunctional public space providing access to everyday services, stimulating social integration and building local identity. This general definition, though comprehensive and convincing, has lim-ited value for urban planning: it bears particular questions regarding the form and function of local service centres in contemporary neighbourhoods. This paper presents a critical review of scientific lit-erature on service nodes in urban areas which is followed by a conceptualisation of the research issues to be studied. Starting from the overview of historical origins (ancient agora, medieval market squares, the neighbourhood unit in the modernism) up to current planning concepts (quality of life shaped by an easy access to services), the paper concludes on the users’ needs and the required formal and functional characteristics of local service centres. Eventually the conceptual framework for the neighbourhood service centres is developed, including several research components: functional pro-gramme, spatial form, social functions, structure of needs, efficiency of services, online and offline of-fer, localisation, accepted distance and optimal range. Such a framework may be adopted in urban planning theory and practice, thus contributing to the current knowledge on shaping residential areas.
