EN The aim of the article is to assess the development of the Poznan metropolis from the perspective of urban development. This applies to the compactness of buildings, spatial and landscape diversity. The observed increase in urban sprawl can be interpreted as a weakness of the spatial planning system. The results of our study suggest that there is a lack of understanding of the causes of uncontrolled spatial development, the causes of unplanned expansion on a metropolitan scale, and of effective concepts to counteract this phenomenon. These results show a signi!cant relationship between the loss of arable land and growing urban sprawl. The results of the conducted research provide evidence explaining the process of suburban development and indicate tools preventing uncontrolled development.
