“…Therefore, the doubts concerned the form of use and exploitation of public resources (which inherently fits with the dilemmas concerning the concept of value capturing itself). In Poland, serious allegations of mismanagement and fraud appeared, especially in the re-privatization of land in the City of Warsaw [75]. On the other hand, when discussing Poland's local plans' economic consequences, such allegations (on such a scale) were not often expressed.…”

The spatial management system in Poland struggles with serious costs as a consequence of local planning. The problem is the lack of appropriate value capturing mechanisms and cost compensation for municipalities, along with significant burdens. Private property is subject to special protection, but the public good is less valued. The article attempts to assess the situation in Poland, recalling also the experiences of spatial management systems from other European countries. It combines legal, economic, and geographical perspectives. The specific objectives were demonstration of geographical (interregional and functional) regularities related to the economic (financial) consequences of adopting local plans and identification of financial effects resulting from the implementation of local plans in communes, i.e., in particular, their size, structure of revenues (income), and expenditures, in relations with the budgets of municipalities and the population living in communes. First, the determinants of spatial policy were defined in the context of institutional economics and the real estate market. Then, a unique database of forecasted and realized budgetary revenues and expenditures of 2477 communes in Poland related to spatial development (infrastructure construction, land transformation, purchase, etc.) was analyzed statistically. Additionally, for five selected communes of different functional types, this issue was examined in detail. It has been shown that municipalities do not derive adequate income from spatial development, and improper policy of local self-governments results in heavy burdens, threatening to disturb their financial balance. The formulated conclusions regarding the legal, economic, and spatial mechanisms may contribute to building tools (instruments) for more effective spatial management in various countries.

Celem artykułu jest określenie płaszczyzn problemowo-przedmiotowych dotyczących ujmowania perspektywy prawnej w dyscyplinie geografia społeczno-ekonomiczna i gospodarka przestrzenna. Dla potrzeb realizacji tego celu najpierw wskazano ogólne relacje występujące między naukami geograficznymi i prawnymi. Następnie wyodrębniono i przedstawiono kluczowe nurty teoretyczne, które ułatwiają doprecyzowanie roli wymiaru prawnego w geografii społeczno-ekonomicznej i gospodarce przestrzennej, akcentując i charakteryzując przede wszystkim podejście instytucjonalne i geografię prawną. Następnie wyodrębniono najbardziej istotne tematy, w których występuje związek między wymiarem prawnym a geografią społeczno-ekonomiczną i gospodarką przestrzenną. W kolejnym kroku wyodrębniono dwie grupy zagadnień: te, w których wymiar prawny jest już w literaturze dostrzegany oraz te, w których wymiar prawny nie jest zauważany lub występuje w znikomym stopniu. Do wszystkich wyodrębnionych ten sposób zagadnień dostosowano te gałęzie prawa, które w najszerszym zakresie są z nimi powiązane. Najczęściej powoływaną w tym kontekście gałęzią prawa okazało się prawo administracyjne. W ostatniej części artykułu podjęto próbę określenia kluczowych kierunków przyszłych badań i dyskusji naukowej.

“…During the three decades since 1989, the city attempted to develop Plac Defilad several times, based on ideas ranging from densification through reconstruction of the pre-war urban grid, to filling in the vacant space with skyscrapers (Go´rczyn´ska et al, 2019). The first development idea clearly reflected the nostalgic attempts to forge connections to the pre-war traditions of the city, while also being related to the controversial idea of removing the iconic Palace of Science and Culture, which was seen by many as an example of the imposed heritage of the Soviet Union.…”

Transcending path dependencies: Why the study of post-socialist cities needs to capitalise on the discussion on urbanisation in the South (and vice versa)

Recently, the theoretical relevance and utility of the regionalised notion of post-socialist cities have been questioned. The ensuing debate has resulted in several positions, including suggestions to drop the term entirely or to create a distinctive narrative based on the concept of a Global East, in order to position the knowledge as equal vis-a-vis discourses originating from Western power centres. This article responds to this call through efforts to transcend the dominant frames of research on post-socialist cities. However, I argue that the first step in overcoming the subaltern positioning of local knowledge is to refocus attention on previously marginalised urban phenomena, and to link the post-socialist research agenda to existing empowering discourses. The importance of creating linkages with the research originating from the South, and the potential for such joint engagements to contribute to global theory-making are discussed in the context of the study of urban informality.
