We are a civic organization, open for everyone who, through their economic and political activity, as well as their knowledge and skills, improve the quality of Polish space and want it to be more and more attractive and competitive in the modern world.

The Society of Polish Town Planners was founded in 1923 by a group of eminent architects, scientists and at the same time - social workers, focused around the Warsaw University of Techonology Faculty of Architecture.

Today, the Society counts around 1000 members in over a dozen regional sections. Since the founding of professional autonomy - the Chamber of Urban Planners, the Society has been gradually changing into an association of social-scientific character, gathering enthusiasts of all issues connected with urbanism.
