Still suffering, still on the periphery? Different paths of the town's post-war spatial change. Evidence from north-eastern Poland
From idea to urban form: The evolution of Howard's concept and typology of historical garden cities in Poland
Defining suburbanization in Central and Eastern Europe: A systematic literature review
Soil and Vegetation Development on Coal-Waste Dump in Southern Poland
As an anthropogenic element of urban landscapes, coal heaps undergo changes due to both natural and anthropogenic factors. The aim of this study was to determine the common development of soil under the influence of vegetation succession against a background of environmental conditions. Vegetation changes and soil properties were analysed along a transect passing through a heap representing a particular succession stage. It was found that changes…
‘Inner’ suburbanisation – Background of the phenomenon in a polycentric, post-socialist and post-industrial region. Example from the Katowice conurbation, Poland
Spatial and functional dimensions of the Covid-19 epidemic in Poland
The COVID-19 epidemic appeared in Poland in early March 2020. Since then, the epidemic has impacted strongly on the socioeconomic nature of the country. Since April 2020, the region with the most confirmed cases is the province of Silesia (Śląskie). This paper has two main aims. First, the authors focus on explanations for the causes of the large number of confirmed cases in this region. The second issue is the mosaic pattern of COVID-19 cases in…
Paths of urban planning in a post-mining area. A case study of a former sandpit in southern Poland
Trajectories of Depopulation and Urban Shrinkage in the Katowice Conurbation, Poland
The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of trajectories of urban shrinkage in the Katowice conurbation (after 1990), a typical of a traditional industrial region in central and eastern Europe.The process of urban shrinkage and its effects, as a consequence of the restructuring of the economy of the region since 1989, are presented from a broad perspective, using the example of the Katowice conurbation, with a detailed focus on two cities,…
Environmental hazards and urban abandonment: Case studies and typological issues
The article discusses the phenomenon of urban abandonment as a result of environmental hazards. Seen as an outcome of environmental drivers, the underlying assumption is that a characteristic of environmental hazards is their spatial and temporal constancy of impact, whereby processes and phenomena having taken place in the past have their analogies in the present. In order to generate insights for future research and policy development, there is…
