Abstract
The article discusses selected functional-spatial and socio-economical issues taking place in communes in a metropolitan area. The processes under investigation pertain to the transformation period in Poland after 1989. Poland’s accession to the European Union in 2004, development of self-governmental policies, and introduction of market-oriented economy boosted, among others, further spatial diversification of communes adjacent to the central city. The selected social and economic phenomena under analysis include years 2000–2017 with reference to results of earlier research of the above-mentioned processes in years 2000–2010 and 2010–2015 in 17 communes of the Poznań county, which together constitute the Poznań Metropolitan Area (Polish: POM). The functional and spatial structure of housing areas in communes of the Poznań county is dominated by single-family housing. Urban planning of communes adjacent to the central city is linked to, among others, human migration into the areas of the communes and development of business activation areas.
