This paper presents and analyses a case-study that elaborates on the effects of the rapid spatial growth of a heritage town on the example of Zakopane in Poland. Economic prosperity and the increase in wealth in Poland in the last two decades revived tourism and resulted in the dynamic spatial development of the city, its functional transformations, and the development of new forms in architecture. The demand for private properties: houses, apartments, and condo flats as well as for hotel rooms and private units for rent in the town has raised significantly. New apartment buildings/complexes, hotels, private villas, and service buildings arose in a short time changing the urban structure of the town and the look of Zakopane and its surroundings. New opportunities opened up, and threats emerged primarily environmental ones. The paper aims to analyse, describe and attempts to valorise spatial, social and ecological phenomena that emerged most visibly in the past decade 2010-2019. It will also indicate the most critical corrections in the city's development path that must be undertaken urgently. New forms of building development and their spatial context as well as the transformation of the heritage part of the town centre will be presented to illustrate spatial processes.
