“…W publikacjach naukowych w odniesieniu do strefy podmiejskiej często stosowane jest określenie periurban, które oznacza "rozwój rozproszony, wielokierunkowy, łączący w sobie większość funkcji miejskich, takich jak mieszkalnictwo, przemysł lekki, przemysł wysokiej techniki, handel i usługi w wielkopowierzchniowych obiektach handlowych, z funkcjami typowo wiejskimi, reprezentowanymi przez tereny rolnicze, hodowlane, pastwiska, lasy, parki, nieużytki" (Mantey 2011, s. 34). W Polsce mamy raczej do czynienia z podziałem strefy podmiejskiej na wewnętrzną i zewnętrzną: peri-urban, zone nucleus, peri-urban inner zone i peri-urban outer zone (Grochowski et al 2013). Pojęcie związane ze strefą okołomiejską jest bardzo trudne do zdefiniowania ze względu określenie jej wielkości oraz wyselekcjonowanie jej cech.…”

Warsaw with its suburban zone is one of the fastest developing areas in Poland. Over the 30 years of political transformation and excessive suburbanisation around both Warsaw and the surrounding cities was accompanied by an increase in the number of residents and decrease in green areas in favour of housing development. The suburban zone around Warsaw keeps expanding. Its dynamics of changes make its range difficult to define. Areas adjacent to Warsaw show stronger urbanisation than the peripheral suburban zone. Long-lasting spatial transformations around Warsaw contribute to the development of a new peri-urban zone, constituting a specific urban-rural continuum.

“…In Copenhagen the regional authority "HUR" was abolished in 2006 and replaced by an elected regional council which however has only very limited resources, so regional planning in Copenhagen was moved to the national government. In the Warsaw region, where the regional authority of Mazovia is responsible to take charge of regional planning since 2003, no steps were undertaken yet [34].…”

“…Warsaw has been growing strongly in population and even more in urban area during the period of transition, with most growth taking place in suburban areas [33]. Although demanded by national law since 2003, no spatial development plan for any metropolitan area, including Warsaw, has been developed [34] and the municipalities within the region mainly plan independently. A result of this is an immense oversupply of land designated for future development in the city's periphery [33].…”

Urban growth management has become a common term to circumscribe strategies and tools to regulate urban land use in metropolitan areas. It is particularly used to counteract negative impacts of urban sprawl but also to frame future urban development. We discuss recent challenges of urban growth in 6 European and 2 US American city-regions. The paper compares the urban development focusing on a quantification of drivers and effects of urban growth and a qualitative analysis of the applied urban growth management tools. We build our analysis on findings from the EU-FP6 project PLUREL. The cities have different success in dealing with urban growth pressure -some can accommodate most growth in existing urban areas and densify, others expand or sprawl. Urban growth management is no guarantee to contain urban growth, but the case studies offer some innovative ways how to deal with particular challenges.
