University of Warsaw, Poland, w.wilk{at}wgsr.uw.edu.pl Spatial deconcentration and concentration in metropolitan areas accompany the transition from the industrial to the post-industrial phase. This study considers changes in the spatial distribution of selected service activities in Warsaw in the period 1986-99.The services considered include business consulting, real estate agencies, beauty parlours, and car repair shops. The results indicate that the essential spatial patterns of these activities were similar in the 1980s and 1990s, although there was marked decentralization of services in the latter period.
