Along with respecting basic sustainable development goals, planners will also be obliged to meet more stringent provisions related to energy efficiency in the coming years. In Poland, a crucial year will be 2021, when the EU directive on the energy efficiency of buildings comes into force. In this matter, not only the characteristics of individual objects are of great importance, but their whole complexes and the overall approach to planning - considering the surroundings and referring to the urban scale. The purpose of this article is to indicate the main reasons for turning to integrated energy and spatial planning. It also explains the controversial issues related to speculated climate change and their potential relationship with the construction sector. In addition, the article presents arguments referring to ecological factors as well as basic issues related to the evolution of urban areas and socio-economic factors.
