Abstract

The article discusses the problem of growing depopulation of large cities in Poland resulting from demographic changes, migrations in particular. The author focuses on the process of moving away from cities, and the main goal is to show the influence such migrations exert on Polish suburbs. In addition, the article elaborates on possible evaluations of the phenomenon of urban depopulation: Is it to be seen as something negative or neutral? Existing research shows that the urbanization of Poland (i.e. the percentage of Poles living in urban areas) has been decreasing in recent years. Researchers interested in this phenomenon conclude that it is a clear symptom of suburbanization.
