title: Recent urban and population change in Poland.
abstract: "This paper documents recent changes in urban and population trends in Poland.  These changes include a sharp decrease in the spatial mobility of the population, a transition from population concentration to deconcentration at interregional scale, and a weakening of the dominance of metropolitan core areas vis-a-vis metropolitan rings."  The author suggests that rates of internal migration will increase in the 1990s as the large cohorts born in the 1970s enter the labor force.
