Abstract
The presence of foreigners in Poland is yet a relatively unexplored phenomenon and an interesting research area. Since the transformation and the Polish accession to the European Union there has been an upward trend towards an increase of population of immigrants recently (within the last couple of years). It is self-evident that vast majority of migration is into cities. Therefore, the activity of foreigners contributes both to the social and structural changes. This article aims to present spatial distribution of foreigners in city of Poznań. The article presents the results of research on patterns of settlement of foreigners in city of Poznań from 2000–2012.References
