Abstract

The aim of the article is to discuss and evaluate the significance of the coherent and compact urban structure for the development of the city and the indication of their use of activities that may have a positive impacton the quality of residents’ and other city users’ life, on the example of Wrocław. Methods used in the article are descriptive, simple statistical methods and case studies. There is a lack of cohesion and coherence in functional spatial structure in Wrocław. Meanwhile, compact urban structure can help improve the quality of life of residents and other city users. In the new strategic documents: the project of the Study of conditions and directions of Wrocław spatial planning and the Strategy for Wrocław 2030, attach great importance to the coherent and compact urban structure. Particularly important actions are: adherence to the principle of urban fulfillment, strengthening the role or creating bustling public spaces, taking care of the multifunctionality of the city center, revitalizing and ensuring more self-sufficiency of outlying settlements, and maintaining the distinctness of individual districts and urban units, while strengthening the functional links between them.
