	In this paper, the history and development of the town of Tychy’s green areas are presented in regard to urban planning and development. Two principal stages of the city’s origin together with the characteristics of the green area objects, as created during the mentioned period are discussed. Due to the scale of undertaking and coherency of planning during the implementation, special attention was paid to the period after 1950. It was the period when the General Plan originated – the plan concept, designed by Kazimierz Wejchert and Hanna Adamczewska-Wejchert, where the componential parts of green area system, as resulting from the adopted general compositional-functional assumptions, became one of the constituent elements of the city’s urban layout. Additionally, the process of implementation and the present status of the urban and local community parks as planned in the General Plan are presented here.
