Population of the Suwałki Province underwent substantial transformations in the post - war period. The transformations were due to the migration processes connected with peopleing the western and northern areas as well as with growing industrialization aind urbanization. The above mentioned trasformations were expressed in the chainges of population concentration in the province. In the process of population growth in the Suwałki Province, two basic stages can be distinguished. The first, comprising the years 1946-1950, was connected above all with peopleing of the western part of the region. The sence of population transformations in that period consisted in liquidating the differences in peopleing between the eastern and western parts of the province; the differences which considerably limited the possibilities of economic development. The process of peopleing the country area produced in the years 1946-1960 a tendency of more even distribrution of the population in the province. This phenomenon was closely related to the growing hierarchization of country settlements. The network of country settlements underwent considerable disorders directly after II World War. There was a shortage of settlements with super - regional functions, i.e. settlements that modify considerably distribution of population. However, at the beginning of the sixties, a growth of population concentration occurred in the Suwałki Province, being a consequence of the growing role of towns. Three main town centres, i.e. Suwałki, Ełk and Augustów, have always been playing the dominant role in the process. These towns, due to a relatively high level of industrialization, became the main areas of population conentration, at the same time the process included the immediate vicinity of the towns. The role of remaining towns of the region, on the other hand, was (and still is) much smaller in the process of population concentration, which seems to be a reflection of their small economic potential. In the consequence of the above mentioned processes, population concentration has advanced slower in the Suwałki Province averagely than in whole Poland, not mentioning highly industrialized and urbanized regions. This tendency reveals that the town network of the Suwałki Province does not conform to the requirements of the contemporary social - economic life. The town network of the Suwałki Province is still a relatively homogeneous system whose individual elements are relatively little differentiated with regard to size and functions performed. The result is that the character of the town network is unfit for stemming migrations of people from the country areas of the Suwałki Province which process has been intensified in the recent years. This can be of considerable importance for preparing the optimum wariant of the economic structure and for realization of basic directions of social-economic development of the region.
