“…The paper proposes a model for the functional and spatial development of the Katowice conurbation based on demographic forecasts up to 2050 drawn up by the Central Statistical Office, which anticipates a decrease in the population by at least 40% relative to 2016. The data of forecast for the Katowice conurbation and many other Polish regions are underestimated [74]. Data regarding registration PESEL database, as well as local studies of Authors indicate that the actual number of inhabitants in the region is smaller than the one reported by the GUS from 5 to 15%.…”

Can Depopulation Create Urban Sustainability in Postindustrial Regions? A Case from Poland

Many towns and cities in the world experience the process of urban shrinkage. This may be observed in localities of different types and of all sizes, including a large group of post-industrial towns and cities of Central and Eastern Europe. One of the districts affected by the urban shrinkage process is the Katowice conurbation in Poland, which may serve as a good example to consider the potential for introducing the idea of sustainable development. In this perspective, sustainability is considered as a specific challenge within the progress of regional transformation, but also a target concept for a large urban region to be followed throughout the evolution and at particular stages of the change. In the discussed region it is all the more important because it is followed by phenomena related to post(industrialism), relatively high pollution levels compared with the European average and a polycentric system of settlement. This paper states that the current urban policy implemented in the Katowice conurbation does not seem to have any palpable effect reversing the trend of depopulation in the region, which seems to stem from the fact that numerous initiatives undertaken in the area are ‘illusory’ and often unnecessary and unjustified. This also applies to activities embracing and fostering the idea of sustainability. With regard to the latter issue, the main concern refers to overinvestment and wasting the measures to reduce low emissions and to make savings in the heat supply system for residential buildings. The Authors proposed a new vision for the transformation of the region. It will respond to the current and expected needs of the residents, while making allowances for multidimensional sustainable development, particularly in terms of housing policy and spatial development. This concept primarily focuses on a new balance between the areas covered by low-rise and high-rise buildings and the reorganisation of the structure of the local economy.

“…Similarly, changes in the administrative boundaries of cities and partly undeclared internal migrations exert a distorting effect, mainly resulting in the underestimation of the population of attractive agglomerations and suburban areas and, at the same time, overestimating peripheral areas (cf. KANTOR-PIETRAGA, 2014B;PARYSEK & MIERZEJEWSKA, 2009;ŚLESZYŃSKI, 2016).…”

In view of the ongoing processes of suburbanisation, the discussion also concerns the areas surrounding the city, i.e. those creating urban systems together with the city. These zones were delineated, calling them demographic influence zones, because only demographic factors were involved in defining them. The research was conducted in the period between1999-2015, and took into account the administrative reform of the country that degraded 31 cities from voivodeship (NUTS-2) capitals to poviat (LAU-1) cities. The main aim of the study was to find an answer to the question: do the directions and the strength of population changes confirm a hypothesis of the destructive impact of the loss of administrative function on settlement units. The results of the study only partially confirmed this hypothesis. Although a decrease in the population is overwhelmingly predominant in the city core, in the case of the demographic influence zone, it has already increased. Counting both parts together, it was found that in half of the cases there was a decline and in the other half a growth of the population.

The main objective of the work detailed here was to identify the directions taken by changes in population in Poland’s largest cities over the years 1980-2020. The six cities involved are Warsaw, Kraków, Łódź, Wrocław, Poznań and Gdańsk, and it was at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries that their situations as regards population diverged markedly, in turn under the influence of changing socio-economic conditions. Until the mid-1980s, the cities analysed followed similar trends for population. However, a period of demographic reconstruction then ensued, at that led to the aforementioned diversification. The current trends for population change result from one or other specific factor prevailing. In the case of the cities experiencing steady population growth, this is a positive migration balance, while in Łódź natural decrease prevails, and in Poznań a negative migration balance. In Poland’s 'Big Five' cities, population shares are in each case higher than elsewhere in the 0-4, 30-44 and 65+ age groups. Against this background, Łódź stands out as experiencing the clearest process of population ageing.
