The authors focused on the most important cities before the industrial revolution in the border of present Lodzkie Voivodeship. The development of seven cities was presented, showing the conditions and process of transformations of the urban structure in different historical epochs, leading to the formation of a complete urban plan. In the next part of the article, the authors discuss the immutability of the medieval urban plan, despite the transformations that took place in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The evaluation of the urban structure is presented on the example of one of the discussed cities, showing the most important elements of historical heritage, as well as the scale of the19th and 20th century interference in the historical city plan. Finally, the authors take up the issues of heritage preservation of historical urban structure and contemporary planning problems. The work is presented in six main sections: 1) background with a description of the general information about the formation of cities in the Lodzkie Voivodeship, 2) methodology with a description of the research method, 3) Historical description of the cities, 4 )Evaluation of urban structure on an example of chosen city, 5) research results and discussion, 6) conclusions.enDla wszystkich w zakresie dozwolonego użytkuFair use conditionurban transformationurban spaceshistorical citiesurban heritage preservationtransformacja miejskaprzestrzenie miejskiemiasta historyczneochrona dziedzictwa miejskiegokonferencja - rozdziałLicencja PŁLUT License10.34658/9788367934039.59
