Abstract

Absorbency of commercial real estate markets in large cities and medium-sized towns in Poland seems to be already heavily restricted. This is the result of intensive and rapid development of modern shopping centers. Currently, in the small Polish towns, the trend is to build moderately expansionary - in relation to the existing forms of trade - commercial properties with trading function or combined commercial-residential functions. The authors discussed and analyzed two examples of such investments - in Złotoryja and Sztum. Then they drew conclusions relating primarily to the possibility of use of this type of real estate in urban renewal and the small towns revitalization. In particular, the authors paid special attention to the spatial planning circumstances connected with such investments.
