TY - JOUR TI - The role of cities in the development of rural areas AU - Kowicki, Marek TI - The role of cities in the development of rural areas AB - The article is a polemic with the doctrine of multifunctional rural areas development (WROW) in Poland. This doctrine is supported by many scientists and politicians but it lacks reflection on its impact on spatial planning. It is a denial of the logic of the settlement process according to which the rural population leaving the employment in agriculture sector should be given the chance to choose the city as a place of residence.
