Abstract
The suburban zone has become the site of new functionally and stylistically varied development in recent years. It is the result of the search for an alternative form of housing and employment in an attractive environment far away from the inconvenience of the city, yet in its immediate vicinity. The goal of the article is to present new development structures in selected fragments of the suburban zones of Polish cities in terms of their relationships with the core city and their immediate surroundings and how well they blend into the surrounding landscape. The study focused on selected housing and service complexes located within the suburban zones of large urban centres and was based on analyses of urban and architectural form, compositional relationships, transport accessibility and local conditions. Development pressure in the suburban zones of Polish cities displays significant interference with the natural landscape by new development projects, without clear signs of ensuring that they blend into the extant cultural space. This applies to both former suburban villages that gradually lose their agricultural character and the natural open landscape. In this case, the dominance and intensification of new development structures, along with their varied forms within space, negatively affects the natural and compositional qualities of these areas, which are a potentially attractive space for the city's development. The pursuit of new forms of buildings and developing suburban zones that blend into the surrounding landscape while being compliant with local conditions is therefore a key task. New development structures in particular should adapt to the character of the suburban zone, with a preference for solutions that support the sustainable development of these territories while preserving green areas, including agricultural ones, as well as cultural continuity.
