Summary/Abstract: It is among others the town compositional system that is responsible for the coherence of a functional-spatial structure. Particular compositional qualities of the space determine the cultural dimension of the town. The borders run between particular urban development units of the town that in plans of its development constitute peculiar barriers, but also committments. Interpretation of borders within the composition of of the local space as barriers and committments, constituted one of the elements of compositional analyses made within the “Study of determinants and directions of the spatial development” for the town of Wrocław. The experiences derived from these analyses allow for formulating the implications that can protect the town from a chaotic fragmentarization. Each fragment of the town, thus, should meet the compositional requirements constituting a high cultural value.
