“…Amado and Poggi (2014) proposed the methodology using common GIS and CAD software to evaluate the urban morphology impact on the use of solar energy. Problems of energy efficiency and use of solar energy in urban planning appears also in many other publications (Chwieduk, 2006(Chwieduk, , 2014van Esch, Looman & de Bruin-Hordijk, 2012;Stangel, 2013;Sarralde, Quinn, Wiesmann & Steemers, 2015;Grzymała, 2016;Zhou, Zhuang, Yang, Yu & Xie, 2017).…”

In the era of climate changes, one of the most important challenges of architectural designing is a reduction of energy consumption in buildings for heating and cooling purposes. A significant component of the energy balance of buildings is passive solar heat gains, the amount of which depends, among other things, on the mutual location of buildings. The article discusses the preliminary research on the possibilities of achieving energy savings of buildings at the stage of urban design in Polish legal and climatic conditions. The study includes the analysis of several variants of the layout of buildings located at the same plot.

“…The ecocity is therefore characterised by self-sufficiency in obtaining renewable energy sources, low emission of greenhouse gases, a properly organised waste recycling system, energy efficiency in construction, and sustainable mobility involving the dominance of pedestrian, cycling and public transport traffic over private motorised traffic (Węcławowicz-Bilska, 2014). Striving for the development of eco-cities is also expected to allow for high quality of life of residents (Sas-Bojarska and Walewska, 2013), owing to the provision of access to green areas (Grzymała, 2016) and best housing standards (Tomozeiu and Joss, 2013). The transformation towards the ecocity itself should be based on the principle of social justice, providing all residents access to the city's resources (Wieteska-Rosiak, 2013).…”

Transforming cities towards eco-cities constitutes a significant effort in mitigating and adapting to climate change. The implementation of legal acts and diverse environmentally oriented sectoral policies plays an important role in that process. The objective of this paper is to determine the antecedences and effects of the transformation of cities in accordance with the eco-city concept in Poland in the context of implemented policies, legislation and initiatives. The study reviews the normative acts and programme-strategic documents that provide the framework for the shift towards eco-city at the international and EU level, as well as identifying changes in legislation and policy initiatives resulting from their implementation at national and local level. A set of 24 original indices referring to six aspects of the eco-city (waste management, water and wastewater management, transport and urban mobility, application of RES in energy engineering, air quality, and urban green areas) were applied in multi-criterion analyses in selected case studies. This permitted us to identify the key factors that power the transition towards eco-city. The legal and policy measures are implemented in a top-down approach. Actions are usually initiated at national level and implemented by local authorities, who operate according to their assigned tasks and using dedicated tools (e.g. LEPs, SUMPs). Significant effect of the implementation of eco-city solutions were identified in waste management, sustainable transport, urban mobility, and air quality improvement. Recommendations for future measures include implementing plans and demonstrative projects of eco-cities or eco-districts, conducting complex pro-ecological measures, and increasing the role of bottom-up actions.
