Functional urban areas are of high importance both in the implementation of the National Urban Policy 2023 and territorial development policy. The objective of the study is to determine the level of development of functional areas of voivodship capitals in Poland. The study involved the application of the taxonomic method in a dynamic approach covering the period 2005-2015. The determination of taxonomic values was based on a set of diagnostic indicators in three dimensions of development: social, economic, and environmental. The study involved the assessment of the level of development of central cities of FUA, and separately of cities and the surrounding communes. Moreover, the level of development of each of dimensions of sustainable development was determined. This permitted the assessment of the structure of development of functional areas in Poland.
