Summary/Abstract: The article presents spatial and demographic changes in the external zone of the Katowice conurbation – on the example of a small town Sławków. In particular spatial changes of the distribution of new single-family houses occurring in the city after 1990 were characterized. Newly built zones of single-family houses development have been defined as areas subject to residential suburbanization processes (within the city’s administrative boundaries, ‘inner’ suburbanisation). Their arrangement is characterized by specific physiognomy and an ‘island’ location in the polycentric urban region.
