Depopulacja zespołów miejskich w sudeckiej części Dolnego Śląska
Depopulation of urban agglomerations in the south part of the lower Silesia

Summary/Abstract: The main object of this paper was the analysis of population changes which took place in the years 1995–2014 in the Jelenia Góra and Wałbrzych agglomerations. Current poor demographic situation of Jelenia Góra and Wałbrzych is caused by the negative economic, social and administrative changes, which occurred in the last decade of the 20th century. Depopulation of the both cities was not compensated by suburbanization of their hinterlands. This problem concerned the Wałbrzych agglomeration in particular. Low dynamics of suburbanization was caused there by a weakness of the economic base of local urban centres and by a negative image of the Wałbrzych city and the entire Wałbrzych Basin. A proximity of Wrocław city has also negatively influenced the demographic situation of both discussed agglomerations.
