In order to clarify whether, to what extent and in what elements the arrangements of planning documents of suburban municipalities contribute to spontaneous, chaotic suburbanization, in the Institute of Spatial Management and Housing in Warsaw, in 2013 was taken the research task titled „Flawed suburbanization and the quality of the planning documents of municipalities”. The subject of detailed study are: development strategy, the study of conditions and directions of spatial development (study) and local spatial development plans (l.s.d.p.) of selected municipalities in the outer zone of Warsaw Metropolitan Area (WMA). This article presents preliminary results of studies, based on the analysis and evaluation of the planning documents of two communes of rural community status - Lesznowola and Michałowice. They have borders with the capital city in the south-western part of the outer zone of WMA, which is subject to particularly strong pressure of urbanization. Analysis of existing in both municipalities planning documents, indicate significant differences in the modes of operation of local governments in planning and spatial management. Municipality of Lesznowola (6,917 ha, 21,469 inhabitants in 2011) adopted a policy of expansive urbanization of agricultural areas. In the Strategy, and in the Study, the phenomena and processes that have an impact on spatial development was not recognized sufficiently, as well as problems to be resolved taking public interest into consideration were not identified. Diagnostic section of the Study does not provide forecasts of demographic variations (assumed 33.9 thousand. people in 2020), the state and changes in the structure and land use was not recognized (actual and established in the plans), local needs were not assessed (including i.a. possibilities of financing by the municipal infrastructure development and ensuring a balance of the real estate market). Disadvantages of conceptual part of the Study are: lack of municipality development vision, lack of territory division on the structural units, excessive arrangements flexibility, lack of designated public spaces, lack of the areas balance as determined by the Study, lack of development staging. Local plans covered 90% of the municipality’s territory. In those plans earmarked 3933.65 ha for development. Most l.s.d.p. prepared for reassignment of agricultural areas for building estate. Generally, the plans do not sufficiently regulate land use and building areas, allowing investors to too high degree of freedom in the space forming. Most of the areas earmarked for single-family housing development. Do not secured land for public services, organised green spaces and public squares. Municipality of Michałowice (3,488 ha, 11,934 inhabitants in 2011) leads a more balanced spatial policy. In the Study, spatial management development conditions were diagnosed, they resulting from: demographic development (in the year 2020 18.3 thousand in the first variant and 22.0 thousand in the second variant), the current destination, land development and equipment, the state of spatial order and requirements of its protection, needs and opportunities for municipality development. The concept of spatial management included: the ability to complete already designated by the plan building areas, the need to reduce development and management of new areas due to the costs of infrastructure (in particular the purchase of land for roads) and the need for a areas reserve for a further period. The balance of areas according to the policy and absorbency demographic areas was presented. The Study earmarked 2,017 ha for development, including 1,427 ha for housing. Local plans were prepared for 50% of the municipality area. Similarly to in Lesznowola, in the l.s.d.p, most of the land earmarked for the single-family housing development with services. Areas for public services were designated and their types were specified. Green and undeveloped areas were also determined, and in two locations (Reguły and Komorów) - public squares were indicated. Excessive and uncontrolled urbanization of Lesznowola, caused its financial problems. The costs of land for roads acquisition, established in the l.s.d.p, estimated at approximately PLN 597.5 million.
