#### *3.1. Metropolitan Areas Level*

The values of ULII calculated for each metropolitan area are low (Figure 4). The lowest urban intensity was observed for PMA and WMA (0.18). It is interesting to note that the Warsaw metropolitan area is not the most urban one in Poland. The highest values of ULII are achieved by metropolitan areas which are similar in terms of function and structure, RM (0.34) and US-ZM (0.33). MAW was in third place with much lower ULII value (0.26). The results of ULII show a connection with population density (Figure 5).
