      abstract = {Research literature emphasizes that the dynamic  development of peri-urban areas more frequently results in  changes in green infrastructure potential, manifested in  the gradual limitation of open space, a decrease in its  biodiversity and a loss of natural and cultural values. The  aim of the study is to identify and evaluate the changes in  the structure of the green infrastructure of selected urban  and peri-urban areas in Poland. To accomplish this aim, the  authors stated a hypothesis that changes in green  infrastructure potential depend on the location of  municipalities in relation to dynamically growing cities.  The research conducted partially confirmed the research  hypothesis stated in the study. In core cities and  municipalities, located up to 25 km from cities, the  decrease in agricultural areas is faster at a statistically  significant level and in cities the value of the indicator  illustrating the ratio of urban green spaces to developed  areas decreases. The potential of other green  infrastructure elements shows growth tendencies and is not  related to location.},
