Poland faces serious problem of uneven regional development. Regional planners have viewed the eastern part of the country as a peripheral region, and the recent systemic transformation of the national economy has emphasized the weakness of a regional structure that was shaped under central planning. However, in common with the rest of the country, eastern Poland has also experienced changes attesting to its adaptability to new socio-economic conditions. Intra-regional centres of gravity have been redefined and they have been more dynamic than the region as a whole. With this in mind, the present study considers the economic and social transformations in the last decade in nine selected towns.

Key Words: cities • peripheral regions • Poland • transformation
