Summary/Abstract: The problem of the modern settlement is the outflow of residents in the suburban areas of large cities. This issue applies in particular to Lodz, which is the most-losing population city among large cities in Poland. In the Lodz Metropolitan Area, small towns are located, which thanks to a smaller scale but good transport accessibility, infrastructure, services and trade could become centers focussing the outgoing inhabitants of Lodz. The subject of the study is the analysis of the housing situation of small towns in comparison with their surroundings, in the area of the Lodz poviat. The main aim of the work is to determine whether small cities can be competitive in relation to their surroundings, in the sphere of acquiring new residents, through the offered housing conditions. The study contains an analysis of determinants affecting the shaping of the housing situation, measures of housing conditions, the local real estate market and new housing construction.
