“…Similar processes are also observed within the administrative borders of large cities in other CEE countries (see Sýkora and Čermák, 1998;Soós and Ignits, 2003;Ira, 2003;Tosics, 2006;Banzhaf et al, 2007;Steinführer and Haase, 2007;Sýkora and Ouředníček, 2007;Wiechmann, 2008;Brade et al, 2009;Haase and Rink, 2015;Holm et al, 2015). This process can be called intra-urban suburbanisation (compare Lisowski and Grochowski, 2009;Spórna and Krzysztofik, 2020). The attention of researchers focuses primarily on 'proper' suburbanisation, and studies on intra-urban suburbanisation are very rare, especially those aimed at identifying the process itself and determining its scale and significance (see Spórna, 2018;Szafrańska et al, 2019;Spórna and Krzysztofik, 2020).…”

The scale and the specificity of intra-urban suburbanisation is subject to evaluation in this article, based on a case study of Wrocław city (SW Poland), using data on population changes at an intra-urban scale and on the level of construction activity in the city. Intra-urban suburbanisation is characterised by intensive construction activity and population growth in the peripheral districts of the city, while depopulation takes place in the central part of the city and in large panel block estates from the socialist period. The main factors for the development of intra-urban suburbanisation are a reaction to the unfavourable (from the perspective of the city) suburbanisation processes (outflow of residents and tax revenue, road traffic congestion and the necessity to service populations residing de facto outside the city). The existence of extensive non-urbanised areas within the larger cities of Central and Eastern Europe (identified as potential areas for investment) results from the specific nature of their territorial development in the 20th century, including incorporation processes connected with planned urbanisation.

“…There is still insufficient research in this area. An element of scientific research that was important in explaining the specifics of the COVID-19 epidemic in the analysed region was publications devoted to the diversity and individuality (demographic, social, economic, spatial) of this region [42][43][44]. This trend of research fits into the broader background of research on issues such as shrinking cities [45,46], the socio-economic transformation of regions of the traditional economy [47], or the development of polycentric regions [48,49].…”

“…The effect of the phenomenon described is quite common where regional urban shrinkage is occurring. The most depopulated cities are located in the region's central part and form a polycentric Katowice conurbation [42][43][44]. The Silesian Voivodeship has a rather specific spatial arrangement.…”

The successive phases of the global COVID-19 pandemic show some differences from the first wave in 2020. The most important of these is some experience in responding to its spread and in applying vaccines. However, new, more aggressive variants of COVID-19 mean that the pandemic is often taking on the nature of the one experienced by societies a year ago. So, the knowledge about the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is still up-to-date—significantly where the essential determinants of its spread have not changed. The article presents the Silesian Voivodeship case in Southern Poland, distinguished by different geographical conditions compared to the entire country. The authors showed the relationship between the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic and the characteristic attributes of the analysed area (post-)mining functions or urban shrinkage. The article conducted a dependence study using the Pearson correlation coefficient and the signs table method. In turn, the authors used thematic cartography to present the results of the analysis. It turned out that two attributes, namely (post-)mining and urban shrinkage, are essential in spreading the epidemic with the region analysed. This conclusion may be essential in implementing national and regional policies related to reducing the COVID-19 pandemic. However, a limitation in the scope of the presented applications is the fact that mining regions, such as the Silesian (Śląskie) Voivodeship, are currently less numerous in the world than, for example, those that develop based on services.
