Abstract

Urban shrinkage is currently a problem of urbanisation processes that characterise the contemporary urban settlement network in Poland and in europe. current demographic forecasts of the Main Statistical offce point to a reduction in the size of Polish population. along with the general decrease in the country’s demographic potential, the number of people in cities will also drop. The process of urban shrinkage will continue in the future and will have a considerable impact on the development of the cities. The effects of this process are diverse and mostly negative. The main issue in the paper is the shrinking of the cities in Poland. The paper presents selected aspects of demographical situation of cities. The period of the analyses covers the years 1990–2014
