Abstract
The planned directions for development in space management within the commune are indicated by, among others, a study and a document drawn up mandatorily for the entire municipal area. The analysis of the study record for the Kutno and Opoczno show that municipalities determine areas for newly urbanized housing sites. The use of new buildings would involve a dramatic increase in local community. The number of the inhabitants is decreasing and these trends are likely to remain. The results of the calculations show that the study records, which should describe the conditions of its development are constructed without taking into account a constant reduction of the number of residents. A study of conditions and directions of spatial planning for Kutno and Opoczno were compared with the assumptions of the theory with the theory of crossing the barrier of urban development by Bolesław Malisz and creative vision of the city described by Charles Landry.
