The work is a continuation of the quality analysis of public space in Poznan. It was based on the original expert method, which makes it possible to compare the different research sample. Poznan is a dynamically developing city and its authorities set a goal, to improve the quality of spatial development, including in the area of public spaces. Due to the lack of clear information about the directions in which these changes are to be made, an attempt was made to estimate the city’s potential due to the location and characteristics of public spaces that can be used by residents to spend their free time. The initial stage of analyzes was devoted to the assessment of the availability and integration of these places. In II stage, the changes taking place were verified, comparing the development of the Warta river with analogous examples of 4 cities. The results of the analyzes showed the ineffectiveness of the introduced changes and the undoubted harmfulness of the lack of strategic plans for shaping valuable public spaces in Poznan.
