Summary/Abstract: The turn of the 21st century has been a period of significant change in procreational behaviour in Poland and the aim of the article is to present the changes observed in regional capitals (of voievodships) in a broader context. The main tool used is the total fertility rate (TFR). The most important findings are those related to the observed similarity of the changes, but at the same time a fixed difference between ‘pioneers’ (the biggest cities) and ‘laggards’ (smaller cities located in the eastern part of Poland) is visible.
