Urbanisation state and conditioning in inter-war Poland – selected issues

Abstract

The article brings about the issue of urbanisation state in inter-war Poland. Only those voivodeships (ten in number) are analysed, which have their approximate counterparts in contemporary Poland. As it follows, all so-called eastern voivodeships and half of the southern voivodeships are omitted. The work shows diversity of urbanisation level in individual regions, dividing towns and cities into small, medium and big ones, also mentioning so-called small towns, being usually of agricultural character. Furthermore, possible conditioning of such status quo in inter-war Poland is indicated.
