Summary/Abstract: Urban space in Poland has undergone not only positive transformations. The objective of the research is to determine the influence of selected communication objects on the formation of the quality of urban space on the examples from two cities: Łódź and Warszawa. The investigation included a range of methods: analysis of city plans and maps, photos and local observation. It was determined that cities in Poland, being a stage for many actors who desire to attract many users, undergo many transformations of urban space. A few examples related to communication were given, contributing towards the formation of urban terrain friendly to its users and those which are hostile to the inhabitants and other users of cities (e.g. residents, tourists).
