Summary/Abstract: The issue is discussed on the basis of selected private towns: Tarnów, Bobowa, Gorlice, Szymbark, Chrzanów, Książ Wielki, Dukla. These towns, founded in the 15th century, are characteristic of that time’s phase of urbanisation, dominated with middle- and small-sized centres. The crucial elements of the analyses carried out in the paper are: links of the town to its surrounding villages (within a uniformly developed settlement complex), relationship between the urban layout and the residence of the owner, filling out urban layout with infrastructure, including the buildings founded by the owner, emphasising the position of the family.
