Abstract

The article presents relations occurring between the structure of city centers and that of public spaces in Lublin. It examines the problem of polycentricism of urban areas, relations between centers, and those between centers and their vicinity. It also analyses the structure of public spaces, its continuity, legibility, and its basic elements, particularly in terms of their morphology and quality of space arrangement. Results of comparative analysis of both urban structures are presented.

Keywords:
