The aim of this paper is to present and specify to what extent the migration over the past few years has affected selected Polish cities with a population of more than 100 thousand and how the migration trends in those cities have developed in comparison with the other cities and the rural areas. The research showed that since mid-1970s there have been a constant and relative decrease in internal migrations, which was stopped in the early 21st century. The faster decrease of the inflow over the outflow of population, caused bigger and smaller cities, treated as a whole, reach a negative migration balance. These radical changes in the direction of internal migration caused the negative balance in rural areas to decrease. (original abstract)
