Abstract

The aim of this paper is to characterize the shaping of green infrastructure for the 12 largest Polish cities in 2005-2021. The research was performed using the data from the Central Statistical Office of Poland (GUS). The outline of the research supports the conclusion that large Polish cities should make changes to increase the area of functional green spaces. In line with global and European trends, investments in the development of green infrastructure should be a priority in the development strategies of Polish cities. The development of functional green spaces should make them more biophilic according to the good practices of the greenest cities in Europe and the world.
