Abstract
Air Pollution and Energy Unefficiency of Settlement Structures in the Context
of Spatial Chaos in Poland (Chosen Examples from Lower Silesia). The deregulated spatial
planning system in Poland has led to an emergence of incalculable economic, environmental
and public costs that burden the society. Investment liberty is accompanied by a lack of
coordination in the development of housing areas with public transport, electricity, gas and heating
infrastructure. At the same time, revitalization is interpreted as a form of physical modernization
of buildings, but not as social renewal. The result of spatial disorder is a reduction of energy
efficiency of entire settlement structures, not just individual buildings. Old-fashioned methods of
supplying buildings with heat, responsible for local emission, are sustained. Comprehensively,
this condition contributes to the deterioration of air quality indicators in Poland.
