Summary/Abstract: Luboń city is inextricably linked with the city of Poznań. It is supported by a number of factors. The most important include the geographical location and new, more efficient communication links. Directions of spatial development, presented in the analysis, were described by two basic urban idexes which indicate existing and planned development of Luboń city as an urban structure of Poznań. It seems that in this case the continued development of the urban structure of the city of Poznań in Luboń areas is a natural tendency for urban development areas included in metropolitan areas. Smaller urban centers in suburban areas of the original so-called “bedroom”, providing backup for the larger urban centers, will be transformed into centers of an urban structure, increasing the urban areas. This causes the disappearance of the intermediate zone between urban and rural areas, which are the suburban areas. The increased dynamics of the transformation of the surrounding areas and the problem of transforming a suburban landscape features through the disappearance of the intermediate zone are noticeable.
