Summary/Abstract: This article presents changes to the location of the centroid of Łódź provincetowns resulting from their intraregional time accessibility as well as fromtransformations in the potential accessibility connected with the dynamic developmentof road infrastructure. The research was extended through usingdescriptive methods of spatial statistics as well as spatial data exploratoryanalysis with focus on dispersion statistics in the form of standard deviationellipse. Features of ellipses elaborated for individual moments in the developmentof intraregional infrastructure connections allow to define transformationsof transport potential of the province’s towns from the spatial perspective.
