As a consequence of the liberal doctrines and global pressure and speculation, land-use planning in Poland has been discredited. Physical Planning is optional. New buildings sites are not sufficiently linked to the responsibility of infrastructure financing by its direct users. Land value generated in the processes of planning and by building the infrastructure is taken over almost all by private sector. The faulty system of planning has accelerated urban sprawl and spatial chaos. In country sites and rural areas we have transfer the land for construction sites up to 60 million people (while Poland has 38.5 million inhabitants). In master plans (called the study of condition and spatial development direction not having the status of local by law) researchers estimated that local authorities have foreseen the land to be transferred for construction purposes for more than 180 to 220 million people. Poland is looking for a new model of effective spatial planning and territorial development. The separately functioning system of public economic development planning leads to the emergence of a natural contradiction in proceeding and implementing between the sphere of economic and spatial planning. In the face of a lack of consistent methods and the complexity of the analysed processes, these discrepancies are even greater. Socioeconomic planning develops along its own course. Spatial issues are considered marginal, often seen as inconvenient determinants or even obstacles. Spatial factors are treated as variables that complicate forecasting models of development processes and, therefore, are readily ignored in forecasts. Hope lies in the integrated approach to the public planning for the regional and local development.EnglishopenAccessconferenceObject1513-1516
