Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of research on spatial changes related to the implementation of the investment over the last decade. The study comprised nearly thirty towns and villages in Małopolska Region, where such investments have taken place. They were aimed at increasing the attractiveness of public spaces, development of economic activity, acceleration of urbanization by increasing the housing areas, and improvement of the health resorts and infrastructure related to environmental protection and transport network. The studies were conducted in the years 2010–2013. The results reveal that the largest amount of investment has taken place in the past few years. Most of it are small projects. Apart from infrastructural investments, they were largely aimed at improving the quality of public spaces in towns and villages.
