Summary/Abstract: In contemporary Poland, the spatial policy performed at the municipal level is based on a mandatory document – the study of conditions and directions of spatial development. In the most general terms, it defines the allocation of land for specific functions. Due to the importance of residential function development, particular municipalities usually allocate large areas for this purpose. The study shows how the pro-housing policies, adopted by the analyzed communes, affect the actual development of new housing construction. The qualitative structure of a new residential buildings is also the subject of interest, as well as the impact of its changes on the spatial and functional structure of suburban areas.
