Metropolises and smaller cities in Poland. Dilemmas of development

Thematic scope

Metropolises and smaller cities in Poland. Dilemmas of development

• The polarising diffusion model versus sustainable development – the dispute is still valid

• Metropolises versus medium-sized and smaller centres. Co-existence, balance or competition? Polish and global experience

• Creation of metropolises within the current legal framework

• Administrative division of the country versus the division of EU funds and the distribution of government subsidies

• The role of the location of regional institutions operated by both the government and local governments in the creation of the economic strength of the region
