Summary/Abstract: In this article, the authors attempt to analyze phenomena that cause crises in the case of contemporary cities. The authors refer the phenomena to contemporary mega-trends and phenomena that characterize the determinants of urban development, together with potential threats to socio-economic potentials of Polish cities. An important element of this article is an attempt to show the phenomena of socio-cultural, economic and spatial consequences.
