Abstract

Pursuant to Article 10 point 2 of the Planning and Spatial Development Act dated 27 March
2003, studies of conditions and directions of spatial development of communes are to include a balance of
areas designed for development. Designation of the area with a fully developed compact functional and spatial
structure is one of the key elements of the above-mentioned balance. The binding regulations, however, do
not regulate the methodology of its determination. The consequence of adopting various assumptions for the
needs of such a designation are significant differences in the final shape of this area and the incomparability
of the obtained results. An attempt to regulate these issues was made in the ongoing amendment to the
above-mentioned act. In accordance with the proposed changes, the area with a fully developed compact
functional-spatial structure will be replaced by an area of supplementary development. The article confronts the effects of the proposed regulations with those currently in force in this matter. Their impact on counteracting
dispersion of urban development has been assessed, practical problems of their designation have been
indicated and a proposal for a more detailed law with reference to the subject matter has been presented.
