Abstract
The Settlement System of Poland: Patterns of Change. Poland’s settlement system
has become a scene of accelerating metropolitan development over the last few decades.
The trends observed and their policy implications are discussed in the article by focusing on
sub-spaces, settlement structure components. Special reference is made to the formation of
city networks and their role in spatial organization at the national level. A possible future
course of the metropolization phenomena, together with some factors of their evolving intensity,
is outlined against the background of selected European urbanization scenarios.
