Since the early 1990s, we have observed significant changes in the demographic and social structures of Warsaw’s population. Their course is not identical in intensity and direction in its various districts. The purpose of this article is to show these differences and to distinguish the districts of Warsaw where these changes have taken a similar course.

The article includes part of the results of the research conducted within the framework of the project “Infrastructural development and physical capital and polycentricity of Mazovia’s development” (Development trends of Mazovia). Mazovia is characterized by the strongest spatial differentiation in the country, both in terms of economic development and infrastructural development. The averaged values of indicators are most often a resultant of the situation in the capital region and outlying areas. For this reason, the study of transport infrastructure was carried out in the article in a comprehensive manner.

The article discusses the reasons for the establishment of territorial observatories and a description of the first related activities. The creation of such institutions in Poland is the result of proven European practices, where a network of spatial planning observatories was established at the beginning of this century. The first Polish experience is related to the construction of regional observatories of the labor market, in the earlier programming period of the European Union.
