Abstract
The phenomenon called “return to the city” has intensified in Rzeszów. After a clear decline in the number of inhabitants at the beginning of the present century, for several years there has been a steady increase in population, which is not related to incorporating more towns into the city. The paper presents the analysis of data collected during the study carried out in the city. Residents of the city declared satisfaction with their place of residence. The main reasons for satisfaction were the cleanliness of the city, aesthetics, work, noticeable city development, developed infrastructure, and a high level of security and peace.
