Abstract
Implementing an effective housing policy in Poland is currently one of the most essential contemporary challenges associated with the country’s rapid economic development. This development has caused numerous problems associated with earlier political and economic conditions. These problems include an insufficient number of dwellings, their inadequate size and their overcrowding. Poland’s housing deficit has been estimated at as much as 3 million housing units. Against this background, the article presents a selection of assumptions featured in the new National Housing Program adopted in Poland in 2016, in which the improvement of housing conditions and the increasement of dwellings quantity became the primary goals of this government program. At the same time, the presented solutions have been confronted with the capabilities to protect the spatial order. In the context of the assumed increase in the development of new housing, a number of systemic changes that are currently being introduced can be seen as a cause for serious concern. The selective implementation of housing policy and its partial detachment from matters of proper spatial planning are not conducive to fully sustainable development. These efforts can, over the long term, also influence the emergence of social conflicts despite providing increased housing availability.
