Abstract

[The chapter outlines the genesis and course of changes in the territorial division of Poland over the last 30 years. It analyses administrative structures on three tiers: gmina (commune), powiat (county) and województwo (voivodeship, region). Reference is made to the territorial divisions of other EU countries, especially those which, like Poland, have a three-tier structure of territorial administration. The basic proposition of the study is that the territorial organisation of public administration should change, matching the development of political, economic, social, and spatial processes. The highly dynamic processes taking place over the last 30 years make us reflect upon further transformations of Poland's territorial organisation. The chapter closes with conclusions and recommendations related to the directions of change in administrative structures, such as the creation of new voivodeships, as well as mergers of urban and rural poviats and gminas.]
