Methods used in the article are descriptive, simple statistical methods and case studies. There is a lack of cohesion and coherence in functional spatial structure in Wrocław. Meanwhile, compact urban structure can help improve the quality of life of residents and other city users.

Particularly important actions are: adherence to the principle of urban fulfillment, strengthening the role or creating bustling public spaces, taking care of the multifunctionality of the city center, revitalizing and ensuring more self-sufficiency of outlying settlements, and maintaining the distinctness of individual districts and urban units, while strengthening the functional links between them.
