Abstract: Increased entrepreneurship and an influx of residents to urban areas requires the expansion of the housing and service infrastructure. However, at the stage of construction project implementation, the necessary technical, technological, and transport processes may significantly affect urban logistics and residents’ lives. A literature review showed that there is no exhaustive research on this topic. Therefore, the authors aimed to assess the impact of residential and non-residential (commercial) construction projects carried out in Szczecin on residents’ quality of life. The research process was based on an inductive approach, which enabled conclusions to be drawn in this research area. For this purpose, structured observations and expert consultations as well as surveys related to construction projects were carried out. The research result was the identification of areas related to construction project implementation that have a significant impact on quality of life, which may serve as a basis for preparing city development plans by local authorities.
