Summary/Abstract: The article is empirical and presents part of the research conducted in 2012–2017, as a part of the research project “Tourist and recreational activity of residents on the example of Szczecin”. The considerations are an assessment of the activities undertaken by the local authorities in the area of shaping the recreational space of the city in the context of diagnosed needs and conditions. The analyzes showed that the number of projects undertaken in the field of recreation development is systematically growing. This demonstrates the great importance of recreational urban development for the comprehensive quality of life in the city. An additional aspect of the investments carried out in Szczecin is the change of the city’s spatial orientation and restoration of its recreational function to the riverside areas. It was also found out that the activities and projects carried out are closely correlated with the diagnosed expectations of residents and tourists.
