Spatial policy of selected communes in vicinity of Warsaw in scope of land consolidation areas and secondary land property divisions
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Bartoszczuk, Wojciech; Delnicki, Maciej
The aim of this article was to analyze planning documents - a study of the preconditions and guidelines of spatial development of communes and local spatial development plans - in the context of regulations related to the division into building plots. The analysis was carried out on the examples of selected communes near Warsaw, and planning documents from the years of 1995-2016 were evaluated. This analysis has shown that the issue of land consolidation and the secondary divisions of plots is omitted in studies of the preconditions and guidelines of spatial development. Only exceptionally adjustments are made to the existing parcel divisions in the local plans. Most of them are adapted even when they are not suitable for new functions. It is up to the owners of the properties to make their way of sharing, including internal communication. The rules for the division of land into building plots are mostly in the form of postulates. The minimum plot area was established by a single planning regulation. The minimization or lack of planning regulations in this subject may lead to defective spatial structures, costly in the eventual future process of improving utility standards. There are - on analyzed areas - not only individual plots developed in this way but even entire quarters, cut by a grid of long and narrow streets, serving plots that are difficult to be properly built.

Urban sprawl versus the compact city in the context of spatial policy
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2015) Rogatka, Krzysztof; Sylla, Marta
The aim of this article is to present the multidimensional phenomenon of urban sprawl in relation to the concept of the compact city and spatial policy. Intensive urbanization, which leads to spatial, social, environmental and cultural changes, has been observed in Polish cities and peri-urban areas for many years. The authors distinguish between the negative aspects of urban sprawl and the positive implications of the compact city. Spatial planning should be considered as a tool to manage urban and rural areas. In Poland the spatial planning system consists of three levels: national, regional, and local. It is assumed that spatial policy that contributes to improving cities according to the concept of the compact city can lead to a formation of sustainable urban structure in which society, economy, nature and cultural heritage harmoniously coexist. The case study of Nowe Zerniki estate in Wroclaw is analyzed. Nowe Zerniki exemplifies the concept of the compact city and the brownfield investment ideas that can contribute to the transformation into a sustainable city. It also provides a model for creating modern urban development in accordance with the current architectural, urban, environmental and social requirements.
