Affordable Housing as a Spatial Planning Tool for Shrinking Cities. Case of Poland
Abstract According to recent studies, almost all Polish medium and big cities (apart from Bielsko-Biała, Kraków, Olsztyn, Rzeszów, Warsaw and Zielona Góra) are shrinking. Paradoxically, population outflow does not cause an increase in availability of homes, and due to withdrawal of investors and lack of funds for modernisation, it leads to degradation of resources and actually results in decreased availability of homes in the affordable housing sector. This article concerns the housing policy in shrinking cities. It presents the results of evaluation of the housing policy in selected Polish cities (Bytom, Sosnowiec, Sopot) affected to various degrees by depopulation. The evaluation was performed on the basis of the results of studies on shrinking cities in Europe and in the USA.
