Poland Changes Construction Laws to Curb 'Pathological' Housing Development

An amended law, effective October 27, 2023, prohibits the construction of commercial units smaller than 25 square meters unless they are built on the ground floor or have direct access to a public road. This aims to curb 'pathological' housing development practices and improve urban planning.
