TY - GEN N1 - 24 cm N2 - The article presents the results of research conducted among two diverse social categories, which play a very important role in depopulation analyses: young people - who are at the risk of migration, and people at an advanced age – who are less mobile and stay in the increasingly depopulated city. The study concerned expectations of high school students (about 18 years of age) and elderly people – in this case, students of the Third Age University, regarding recreation space. The study was conducted using the questionnaire method, including mental maps – hand-made sketches of spatial perceptions. Based on the analyses, common features and differences in perceiving leisure areas by both categories of respondents were identified. Expected and desired elements of this space were specified and the directions of changes in developing the space of a shrinking city (in this case – Łódź) were indicated.
