Summary/Abstract: Functional mix is one of the foundations of creating a city that is friendly to residents. Mixing functions allows to reduce the distances necessary to meet various needs in the city. Due to its specificity, functional mix is analysed in the literature mainly at the scale of districts or neighbourhoods. However, according to the author, examining functional mix at the scale of the entire city may show the studied phenomenon in a new light. The following article presents a new method of studying functional mix based on the use of spatial data. The results show that it is possible to create a functional mix map showing the intensity and spatial structure of the studied phenomenon at a city scale. Thanks to this, it is possible, among other things, to identify problem areas that require thorough analysis.
