The article presents the reconstruction of the urbanization process in Wiśniowa Góra, a village near Łódź. It came into being in 1870 as a farming village, surrounded by a forest. After several years the holiday function developed there, which became the base for the general development of the destination during the inter-war period. In 1945 - 1989 Wiśniowa Góra became a dormitory village and a summer holiday estate. The political and economic transformation, which started in 1989, has led to the collapse of the holiday function and the development of the residential function, thus transforming Wiśniowa Góra into a Łódź suburb.

This paper presents results of our research on the process of building development intensification within the Niepołomicka Forest surroundings in 1978-2003, and spatial policies of communes in relation to those areas, as well as results of those policies. Our research demonstrated diversification in the types of spatial structure transformation processes occurring in various parts of the metropolitan area, a considerable influence of even small but ecologically susceptible areas on the natural spatial structure of development, as well as justifiability of determining natural functional areas for the coordination of spatial policy on a trans-local level, in particular within metropolitan areas subjected to strong investment pressures.

The article is aimed at identification of quality changes in global food system evoked by structural changes to the world economy. The basic and simultaneously the primary goal of the world food system should be assuring proper nutrition for the global population. This is understood as delivery of not only adequate energy and protein, but also a diet balanced from the viewpoint of nutrients which guarantee proper physical and mental development. Despite the big progress achieved, still over 815 million people are hungry and more than 30 per cent of the world population face malnutrition or have improper diet. The increase of the global population and incomes, especially in developing countries, will create additional demand for food followed by changes in the previous diet. This will be accompanied by a limited access of agriculture to natural resources and by adverse climate changes. Structural changes in the world economy have a strong impact on the global food system. In the past, transition from agriculture-based economy to industry and then service-based economy was supported by the industrialization process. In the coming decades the potential of industrialization will be much weaker whereas the pace of urbanization will exceed the dynamic of growth in industry and service sectors. Quality changes in the world food system will call for transformation of both agriculture and rural areas and creation of new urban-rural relationships. A new, territorial approach towards food system, will support inclusive development of cities and their rural environment as well as sustainable economy on these areas. The method of indirect observations was used in the analysis which was based on relevant information gathered earlier by competent institutions. Data bases of the FAO, the Human Development Programme and the World Food Programme were analysed.

The aim of the article is to present the differences in saturation of the housing stock and its availability in Poland as well as in European Union countries and its influence on house prices and the economy. Regions which are characterized by a housing shortage will be separated. The analysis takes into account the differences in the level of wealth of the inhabitants and the scale of urbanization of individual states. The implications of social and economic imperfections in the functioning of the housing market, and in particular the price volatility of housing, have also been addressed. In addition, the quantitative and qualitative differences in the housing stock, which reduce the effective stock of available housing, are highlighted. In the case of Poland, only in Warsaw and Łódź does housing saturation correspond to that of the “old” EU. This article is divided into 5 parts. After an introduction to the subject, the second section deals with the issues of structural, long-term imbalances of demand and supply in the European housing market and its consequences. In the third section, the housing situation in the EU is presented. In the fourth part, the regional diversification in the housing stock in Poland is discussed. Section five consists of conclusions and a summary of the analysis.

Urbanization is regarded among the most significant factors affecting election-related behaviour in Poland. In order to identify the importance of Poland's municipal electorate, a procedure of reverse elimination was applied to the electorates of successive largest cities in Poland, followed by a structure of supporting the strongest political parties at each stage of the cities' rank elimination. Whenever each successive elimination is followed by dwindling support for a given party, this party is referred to as pro-metropolitan.

It is possible to make analyses within the field of GIS applying cellular automata. One of the purposes of socio-economic geography is indirect understanding of the phenomenon by analyzing spatial patterns and inferring spatio-temporal processes looking rather for local hotspots. The cellular automata are the tool both for spatio-temporal inferring based on local conditions and data visualization. The evidence is the case study of spatial simulation of Warsaw Urban Area (Poland). The author verifies the hypothesis that the present layout and extent of the Warsaw agglomeration determines further directions of the city's spatial development. To this end, he employs a method based on cellular automata theory.

The article contains the author’s reflection on the development of large cities from the point of view of the city's sozology. According to the author, their development does not meet the requirements of responsible development. It is done in an irresponsible way, although to a certain extent it has the characteristics of sustainable and durable development. This is because economic and technological reasons are decisive, not ecological, social and the more human ones (good of an individual inhabitant). Numerous examples cited in the article confirm this thesis. It is impossible to avoid, reduce or slow down the progress of urbanization, and in particular the further development of megacities – their extension and populations’ growth. However, one can and must take more care for the well-being of their inhabitants. People who decide about the fate of cities and their residents should have in mind this care.

Attention is drawn to the fact that nowadays urbanization is one of the most important trends of modern society development and its consequences should not be underestimated. It is emphasized that the research and forecast of the urbanization processes requires new approaches, which are, in particular, offered by the modern interdisciplinary area of political studies – political urban studies. The need for conceptualizing this new area of political science is substantiated. According to the author, the subjects of political urban studies are: a modern city in the globalized world; a person in the modern metropolis; features of the urban culture formation in the modern society; quality of the urban environment and the political ways of improving it; conflict and risk factors of the modern city’s development; urban political regimes; municipal electoral processes and the forms of urban population’s political activity; socio-political technologies in the city; modern city marketing; analysis of the urban communities as primary subjects of local government; city as the space of socio-political communication etc. Author focuses on the following issues of political urban studies: what is the modern city like (and what it should be like)? Who determines the development of cities nowadays and how to make this process for efficient and transparent? What are the factors that determine the daily life of a city with its historical heritage, which includes layers of different eras nowadays? Where the hidden potential of the city can be found and how to make the city valuable for its residents, as well as recognizable to the international community (branding)? How to organize communication and cooperation between different socio-political actors who are active in the city? Attention is drawn to the issue of cities, urbanonyms and toponyms renaming in the context of implementation of the Law of Ukraine “On the condemnation of communist and national-socialist (Nazi) totalitarian regimes in Ukraine and the prohibition of propaganda of their symbols”. The heuristic potential of political urban studies is illustrated on the example of grouping the administrative structure into government clusters. Functional differences of elements of urban landscape in different historical periods are determined. It is emphasized that modern representative architecture should be directed to the widest social inclusion, provision of new opportunities for interaction of population as well as interaction between «government - society». It is underlined that there is a tendency of uniting within a single building (block) of the highest possible number of state or local governmental authorities for optimization of the management process in view on the inclusion of architecture (so-called governmental clusters). The foreign experience of the cluster approach usage is analysed. The main formats of its application are: 1) separation of governmental cluster in structure of «old» capital, usually by having government buildings outside the historic centre or on the outskirts; 2) transposing the capital to the newly built administrative-territorial units. European experience of governmental clusters organization on the example of successful West-European projects ‒ the government blocks in Oslo and Berlin, as well as the complex of governmental buildings Lombardy in Milan is researched. Practices of Asian cities, including Sejong in South Korea, Putrajaya in Malaysia, Chandigarh in India is studied. Attention is also paid to several projects in the former Soviet Union, including: Astana in Kazakhstan and plans to construct a new Parliamentary Centre in North West Administrative District (Mnevnikovskay plain) in Moscow. It is emphasized that intention of architectural planning is not only compact grouping of administrative buildings, but also the idea of power decentralization (Georgia). The problem of the governmental block transfer from the historical part of Kyiv is also analysed. The cluster approach is defined as the best way of organizing big cities space, especially capitals.

It is a complicated procedurę to analyze a transformation process in suburban zonę, defined in certain circumstances as suburbanization. This is important to abide by two conditions: proper selection of occurrence measurement indicators and realization of this measurement on possibly detailed level of spatial units of analysis. There was a hypothesis madę during researches, that Opole suburban zonę isn't formed in a way, enabling recognize this zonę as an exemplification of the suburbanization occurrence. There was a result confirming the hypothesis while using eight variables, aggregated on particular places (villages) level. At the same time there was pointed, that ethnic factor is a potential variable, disturbing transformation process in the whole of the suburban zonę of Opole.

Analiza procesu zmian w strefie podmiejskiej, definiowanego w określonych warunkach jako suburbanizacja, jest skomplikowaną procedurą. Istotne jest dotrzymanie dwóch warunków: odpowiedniego doboru wskaźników pomiaru zjawiska oraz realizacji tego pomiaru na możliwie szczegółowym poziomie przestrzennych jednostek analizy. W badaniach przyjęto hipotezę, że strefa podmiejska Opola nie jest uformowana w stopniu pozwalającym uznać tę przestrzeń za egzemplifikację zjawiska suburbanizacji. Przy wykorzystaniu 8 zmiennych agregowanych na poziomie poszczególnych miejscowości (wsi) uzyskano wynik potwierdzający hipotezę. Jednocześnie wskazano, że potencjalną zmienną zakłócającą proces przemianw całej przestrzeni podmiejskiej Opola jest wysoki poziom zróżnicowania czynnika etnicznego.

Reunion has few white sand beaches. The most exploitable of them are on the Saint-Paul coast on the west of the island, which are currently in the news after a spate of shark attacks. Their development for tourism has turned Saint-Gilles, once a small fishing and farming village, into a local and international beach resort with extensive repercussions on the organization of the municipal territory in which the agricultural uplands of the hinterland occupied an important area. This article analyses the imbalances created by such development and its sustainability conditions.

This article concerns the process of population concentration in large urban centres in China. The authors conclude that this process is reflected in the increase in the number of cities of a million or more, and the increase in their share of China’s total population, as well as in the country’s total urban population; the process is here termed ‘macropolization’. We analyse and assess the process of macropolization and examine changes in the size structures of these cities (one million or more), and the accompanying transformation in the spatial differentiation of urban population concentrations in China. In addition, the effect that macropolization has on the level of urbanization of individual provinces is shown, as is its significance in the overall share of urban population. The macropolization process from 1950 to 2015 has been assessed. The data was collected from Chinese statistical offices, United Nations reports and the available literature on the subject.

Статья посвящена изучению основных тенденций урбанизации в России, выявлению роли малых и средних городов в социально-экономическом развитии страны. Целью работы является проведение анализа статистических данных на предмет выявления основных демографических тенденций в урбанизационных процессах, а также определению значения малых и средних городов в развитии прилегающих сельских территорий. В статье приведены основные показатели численности населения России, которые свидетельствуют об активных процессах урбанизации, концентрации жителей страны в крупных городах, оттоке населения из малых и средних городов. В региональном разрезе, на примере Вологодской области представлена динамика численности жителей городов. Анализ статистических данных показал, что в большинстве малых и средних городов региона наблюдается миграционная убыль населения, процессы которой продолжаются по настоящее время. Автором выдвинута гипотеза о том, что малые и средние города оказывают непосредственное влияние на развитие прилегающих к ним сельских территорий. Сделаны выводы о том, что одновременное использование отраслевого, производственного и территориального потенциала малых и средних городов может способствовать не только их эффективному развитию, но и решению социально-экономических проблем сельских территорий.

The article is devoted to the study of the main tendencies of urbanization in Russia, the role of small and medium-sized cities in the socio-economic development of the country. The aim of the work is to analyze the statistical data to identify the main demographic trends in urban processes, as well as to determine the importance of small and medium-sized cities in the development of adjacent rural areas. The article shows the main indicators of the population of Russia, which testify to the active processes of urbanization, the concentration of the inhabitants of the country in large cities, the outflow of population from small and medium-sized cities. In the regional context, the example of the Vologda region presents the dynamics of the number of city inhabitants. The analysis of the statistical data showed that in most small and medium cities in the region there is a migration loss of population, the processes of which continue to the present. The author put forward the hypothesis that small and medium-sized cities have a direct impact on the development of the adjacent rural areas. The conclusions are drawn that the simultaneous use of the sectoral, industrial and territorial potential of small and medium-sized cities can contribute not only to their effective development, but also to the solution of the social and economic problems of rural areas.

The city of Ljubljana lies at the intersection of various geomorphological regions that have strongly influenced its spatial organization. Prehistoric settlements were built on marshland, a Roman town was built on the first river terrace of the Ljubljanica River, and in the Middle Ages a town was built in a strategic position between the Ljubljanica River and Castle Hill. The modern city absorbed all usable space between the nearby hills. This paper reviews some relief features in Ljubljana, their influence on the city’s spatial development, and urban geoheritage. The results indicate new possibilities for urban geoheritage tourism in the Slovenian capital and its surroundings.

In January 1906, in the turbulent period of 1905–1907, the poet, artist, and social activist Antoni Lange published in the Warsaw weekly Świat an essay called “Marzenia warszawskie” (“The Warsaw Dreams”). A several page text, illustrated with woodcuts by the painter Andrzej Zarzycki, included a spectacular vision of metropolitan Warsaw of the future: a capital city with many public buildings and modern infrastructure, a genuine center of Polish national and cultural life. The present essay analyzes unexamined ideas of Lange in terms of the history of architecture, and in a double political and social context. “The Warsaw Dreams” was deeply rooted in the political reality of the former Kingdom of Poland, addressing the issue of liberalization of the Russian rule during the 1905 revolution. Using the vocabulary of urban planning and making a list of changes in the city’s architecture, Lange articulated a vision of the future space of Warsaw as a Polish metropolis of modernity, administered independently of Russia. In his essays he proposed to extend the city limits and remove its fortifications as well as introduce local government with significant prerogatives as an instrument of Warsaw’s great transformation – its aestheticization and construction of public buildings, such as national government edifices, schools, and cultural centers. The authors argue that by describing public architecture of the future Warsaw as a “dream” full of copies of well-known European architectural monuments from Venice, Prague, and Cracow, Lange created a comprehensive political project of autonomy of the Kingdom of Poland in the Russian empire. “The Warsaw Dreams” originally combined together architecture and politics, urban space and the problems of Polish modernization, and the discourses of nationalism and socialism. Lange’s visionary proposal from 1906 is of the most imaginative responses to the challenges of the development of Warsaw at the turn of the 20th century in the context of Polish political and social problems of those times.

A short essay can only flag the problem of creation of the image of Budapest as a capital city, and a symbol or epitome, of the Hungarian Kulturnation. I will focus on four matters: first, a few examples will be used to briefly exemplify the ideological programme of Historicist architecture. Second, the reception of this programme in the period’s journalistic writing will be shown (in brief, again), with particular emphasis on the craving for paralleling the West. Third, I will show how the Art Nouveau, rebelling against Historicism, essentially took over its historical mission. And, fourth, I will show the ways in which certain authors discerned already then the pretentiousness, or superficiality, of success. To end with, I will make a reference to the Sonderweg issues.

Prezentuje się tu pewien wachlarz podejść wypróbowanych w kilkudziesięcioletniej aktywności Katedry Planowania Przestrzennego na Politechnice Wrocławskiej, akcentując szczególnie ujęcia ilościowe i techniki modelowania symulacyjnego. Z jednej strony bierze się pod uwagę obecność spontanicznie działających wielkoskalowych mechanizmów dążących do swych stanów równowagi. Z drugiej strony stara się analizować proces dochodzenia do określonych decyzji podejmowanych przez użytkownika systemu cywilizacyjnego, kontrolując jego założenia i dezyderaty z punktu widzenia ich obiektywnego uzasadnienia i realnego prawdopodobieństwa ich urzeczywistnienia.

The paper discusses a certain section of the field of research with strong links to the practical tasks of spatial planning. Spatial planning is seen here as finding the best possible forms of structure, defined as the distribution of elements and organization of connections between them for a system that forms our current civilization. We present here a range of approaches proven in decades of activity of the Spatial Planning Department at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology emphasizing especially the quantitative techniques of simulation modelling. On the one hand, it takes into account the presence of spontaneous large-scale operating mechanisms striving for their equilibrium states. On the other hand, it seeks to analyze the process of inquiry into certain decisions taken by the user of the civilization system controlling its foundation and desiderata from their objective justification point of view and the real probability of their realization.
