Development patterns of Polish towns in the years 1950-1990: a synthesis of the postwar urbanisation process
The AA. present the results of studies of the development of Polish towns by size categories. They allowed a synthetic evaluation of the process of urbanisation based on a multivariate analysis of the growth dynamics of 60 largest towns
and an analysis of the development trajectories of the particular size groups of towns.
Town-based settlements were first developed in the northern Shenandoah Valley in the Virginia backcountry. Three phases of settlement evolution occurred. A well-developed central-place system was finally evident by the 1790s. Current settlement
theories have provided incomplete explanations of the founding of individual towns and of differential town growth.
