The article discusses the practical aspect of implementation of the idea of sustainable development in the EU Cohesion Policy in the 2014-2020 programming period in Poland. The objective of the study is to determine the relations between the idea of sustainable development and instruments of its implementation, and the identification of the scope of influence of Cohesion Policy tools on sustainable development of functional urban areas (FUA). The paper presents the author’s set of sustainable development indicators (SDI) and relevant analyses of their implementation in the financial and spatial aspect in 26 FUAs. Detailed analyses covered one of the new instruments of territorial development, namely Integrated Territorial Investments (ITI). The paper provides evidence which proves that the dominant sphere in the financial and spatial support is the modernisation of transport and energy engineering infrastructure, with potentially multiple effects, as well as the development of a structurally diverse labour market. The least support is provided to the strengthening of integrated management. The tested approach is applicable in reference to other functional areas in the EU. It can contribute to the determination of the extent to which the implementation of the Cohesion Policy supports sustainable development of cities and their functional areas. The application of SDI contributed to the understanding of the process in reality.

The objective of the paper is the identification of conditions and needs of development of urban functional areas, particularly in the scope of management and programming of their development through current implementation of ITI as an instrument of territorial development. The study focused on the management of functional urban areas (FUAs) of voivodship capitals and selected regional and sub-regional centres in Poland, as well as the implementation of projects adopted in ITI strategies. The actual cooperation of territorial self-government units in the scope of the functioning ITI Unions was analysed in the context of the development of the efficient city. The generic and financial structure of the undertaken activities and their contribution in the development of the competitiveness of cities and their functional areas was also analysed. The obtained results show that ITI permitted support of the development of the organisational culture of territorial governance and implementation of integrated investments in FUAs. They created a system of financial incentives and benefits determining the development of sustainable, efficient and competitive cities.

Celem artykułu jest określenie warunków i potrzeb rozwoju funkcjonalnych obszarów miejskich, szczególnie w zakresie zarządzania i programowania rozwoju z uwzględnieniem bieżącej implementacji ZIT jako instrumentu terytorialnego rozwoju. Badania koncentrowały się na zarządzaniu miejskimi obszarami funkcjonalnymi (MOF) ukształtowanymi w strefie oddziaływania miast wojewódzkich (stołecznych) i wybranych regionalnych i subregionalnych ośrodków w Polsce, a także realizacji projektów przyjętych w strategiach ZIT. W kontekście identyfikacji cech miasta sprawnego została przeanalizowana aktualna współpraca jednostek samorządu terytorialnego w zakresie funkcjonowania związków ZIT. Dodatkowo analizie poddano dziedzinową i finansową strukturę podejmowanych działań i ich wkładu w rozwój konkurencyjności miast i ich obszarów funkcjonalnych. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują, że ZIT sprzyjają wspieraniu rozwoju kultury organizacyjnej sprawowania władzy i wdrożenia zintegrowanych inwestycji w MOF. stworzyły też system zachęt finansowych i korzyści określania kierunków rozwoju miasta zrównoważonego, sprawnego i konkurencyjnego.
