“…It is the residents, their attitudes and respect for and commitment to the available space that a lot depends on [58]. There is also a question, whether they will be willing to stay and function in the city, or will they be forced to move to the suburban area to look for the desired social conditions (both will result in financial losses [59]). The observed evolution of the rural spatial structure generates socio-economic changes in local and regional systems.…”

There are important relationships between the urban sprawl process and economic growth. They are usually expressed through spatial relations and changes taking place in the local, regional and national economy. The temporal and spatial dimension, including dispersed location, are the determinants of development and economic growth. Therefore, the urban sprawl phenomenon and the related location, hypothetically conditioning economic growth, should be subject to macroeconomic research. The article examines how urban sprawl affects the national budget and national economic growth. Unlike many studies where urban sprawl is studied by scattering the population around cities, we undertake more complex examination using buildings’ location. Urban sprawl, as we understand it, is a spontaneous spread of buildings around cities. To assess the spontaneity, we use a grid of squares with a side of 500 m. The squares are used to calculate the morphological indicators of urban sprawl. Therefore, quantified urban sprawl is one side of the equation; on the other side are macroeconomic variables. In this way, we examine the relationship between urban sprawl and the national budget and economic growth of Poland. The conclusions obtained are, e.g., urban sprawl does not have a negative effect on the national economy and the budget. This is a different conclusion from those thus far. There are also different conclusions on the regional level. Based on the research results, we formulate recommendations for national economic policy and spatial policy.

“…Ferrell [20] points out that people living in highly accessible areas are more likely to make shorter trips and spend less time in retail-oriented trips. It is especially important while facing the cost of urban sprawl in the context of households' losses on commuting and returning from the core city [21].…”

The residential anthropopressure in the areas around large urban centres has become an irrefutable fact. According to many analysts, the suburban development is not related to rational land-use, focused on shaping multifunctional settlement units. The paper is a study of a selected case of spatial development of a service function in the suburban area of Wrocław. The article presents the literature on the subject of building systems of service centres, as well as the analysis of planning documents of the Czernica municipality, including their correlation with higher-order planning studies. As a consequence of the above, the spatial structure of the municipality and potential development possibilities of the service centres system were analysed. For this purpose, GIS analyses (in particular, the analysis of building density or spatial accessibility analysis) were carried out. The research constituted an important starting point for shaping guidelines in the area referring to establishing a hierarchical system of service centres. This led to the further debate on shaping the spaces for integration of rural residents connected to local service centres.

“…The built-up areas "sprawl" considerably outside administrative borders of cities as well as on many rural areas, in particular those attractive in terms of tourism. Dispersion of built-up areas and deconcentration of the settlement networks directly increases costs of their functioning [29,30], so that the costs of spatial chaos in Poland have been estimated recently for not less than 20 billion EUR per year [31].…”

The article describes the results of comparison of occurence of buildings (and address points) in Poland with delimitations of land use belonging to particular classes in the CORINE Land Cover (CLC) 2018 dataset. Large discrepancies have been identified, which reach on average approx. 34% of addresses and 35% of buildings located outside class 1 (artificial surfaces), mainly on terrains of class 2 (agricultural areas). Among single-family buildings it was 37% and among new addresses (forecasted or ‘under construction’ buildings) – as much as 50%. This puts a question mark over the possibility of using CLC data with resolution of 25 ha for monitoring of spatial planning and development in Poland for purposes of the diagnosis and assessment of the scale of dispersion of built-up areas. It is worth carrying out similar analyses in other countries, known for the deconcentration processes and a relatively large share of dispersed settlement e.g. other CEE countries, Spain, Portugal, Italy.
