Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyze the development of areas located along thesecond metro line in Warsaw using the modified MOLAND model. The area of analysiswas set at a distance of 500 meters from the subway line. Four databases were used as aninput: current use of the land, map-based transport accessibility, site plans and potentialdevelopment areas databases.The results show that areas located within the existing plan, situated not more than500 meters from the metro station and designated as an area of development will developthe fastest. The slowest, will change areas located further than 750 meters from thestation and without an abiding site plan. Fastest-growing terrains are bestead mostly insmall and built-up areas. The most extensive changes take place in areas currentlypartially or generally undeveloped, but without proper infrastructure development theyare likely to slow down. This model could be used especially for spatial planning by cityauthorities.
