Contemporary spatial planning and case of Poland
2013
The paper presents information about changes in social and economic spheres caused by the technological progress and development of information society. The author aims at showing how all those phenomena would impact spatial planning. The paper contains short description of the role of spatial approach in the contemporary economy and of the evolution of approaches in spatial planning. The analysis of advantages and deficiencies of spatial planning in Poland is included.
Spatial planning in the US and Poland
The paper presents spatial planning system currently mandatory in Poland, as well as main changes concerning the principles of spatial planning and man- agement in Poland after the system transformation. The work addresses particu- larly the issues of de-centralization of public administration and establishing commune self-governments, socialization of spatial planning, protection of private property and also the obligation to consider appropriate instruments of natural protection in the process of spatial planning and management. The paper presents also the basic principles of spatial planning in the United States of America and points out the similarities and differences between the methods, procedures and as- sumptions of spatial planning systems in both countries. The work presents poten- tial areas of cooperation between both universities comprising sharing knowledge and exchanging experiences in the filed of spatial planning and management.
Problems of Integration of Spatial and Socio-Economic Planning on a Local Level in Poland
Studia Regionalia, 2015
Integration of space planning and socioeconomic planning is a general problem discussed in the paper. Its main aim is the description of integration conditions with reference to the contemporary Polish practice. Emphasis has been placed on the dissimilar aims and regulatory mechanics of both subsystems. Their common features have been presented as well. Finally, the favourable and unfavourable aspects of integration of regulatory mechanisms governing spatial and socioeconomic development processes are outlined.
The Spatial Planning Environment at the City of Warsaw
This brief note describing the spatial planning environment at the City of Warsaw is prepared in order to explain the basic spatial planning regulations and procurements which are crucial for any (re)development intended to be implemented in Warsaw.
The risky business of planning reform The evolution of local spatial planning in Poland
Land Use Policy, 2019
In many countries throughout the EU recent planning reforms have reduced the possibilities for comprehensive and long-term planning. This paper explores the factors that explain why one of these countries, Poland, lost many of its tools for coordinating the policies and practices affecting spatial organization at the local level. The study, based on the discourses of spatial planners, traces the institutionalisation of local spatial planning in Poland since the 1920s identifying dominant policy paradigms and internal and external determinants leading to the reform in the early 1990s. It shows that the planning reform was driven by attempts to adapt planning institutions to changing political and legal environments after 1989. The new institutional framework that emerged from the reform failed to introduce alternative and effective forms of local spatial planning. Once options for planning were reduced, it became difficult to revive them. The case of Poland shows that a revision of long-term planning institutions might have unexpected outcomes and that it might be difficult to restore particular instruments and planning approaches once they have been removed from the toolbox of the planning system.

The article deals with the issue of spatial plans at the local level. The aims of this paper are (1) extracting the characteristics of local spatial plans that can be compared more broadly (2) identifying, on this basis, the role of spatial plans at the local level in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). In achieving these aims, the authors have critically examined spatial plans and their performance, as well as the planning systems they belong to. Hence, they have investigated the types of local plans in each country, their legal features, and the layout of their content. This examination has revealed a host of problems in the workings of the CEE planning systems. The article highlights those spatial planning issues that could be the subject of more in-depth international comparisons. The study provides additional evidence that in countries where spatial plans are legislated, there are more (mutually differentiated) legal problems in their application. Such problems h...
Spatial Planning and the Development of Small Urban Towns – Visions of the 21ST Century
Studia Miejskie, 2018
Today, spatial planning is playing a more and more significant role in forming spatial development at the local level (municipality, town/city). It is closely connected with numerous documents underlying the implementation of the sustainable policy in the sphere of local development. The article presents an analysis of relevant planning documents at the national level, especially, at the level of the Podlaskie, Świętokrzyskie and Opolskie Voivodeships (provinces). Based on the analysis of spatial functioning in the range of small cities (towns) located in two provinces in the so-called Poland B (Eastern Poland) and one province in the so-called Poland A, the initial recognition of the impact of small urban centres on the regional development was made at different levels. The current economic system rooted in the premises of the innovative development of regions requires conducting detailed studies in the field of investigating its internal structure and external dependencies. As a complex, dynamic mechanism, generating an increase in the quality of life corresponding to the human resources, it also requires an appropriate management remaining in harmony with modern, strategic and spatial economy. The article selectively determines the problems appearing in the economic system of a region and indicates the need to solve the most essential development problems, e.g. those arising due to the obligatory introduction of social and economic scientific descriptions as the fundamental documents for the needs of creating sustainable development of the small-town landscape.
