The process of urban shrinkage will continue in the future and will have a considerable impact on the development of the cities. The effects of this process are diverse and mostly negative. The main issue in the paper is the shrinking of the cities in Poland. The paper presents selected aspects of demographical situation of cities. The period of the analyses covers the years 1990–2014
