Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on residential suburbanization in Poland. The development of these processes was examined with a special regard to the present period i.e. the beginning of 21st century. International migrations were investigated as a factor contributing to the intensity of suburbanization in Poland. The authors attempted to exemplify changes of migrant age structure within metropolitan areas. These areas are currently being shaped by intense urbanization. In 2005–2010 Polish suburbanization slowed down as EU external migrations, economic and financial crisis altered outflow directions and greatly reduced possibilities to move and settle in the suburbs.
