„Stolicą Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej jest Warszawa” – te słowa zawarte w Konstytucji RP powinny również odzwierciedlać znaczenie Warszawy w polskim systemie ładu publicznego, w tym jej znaczenie w systemie planowania przestrzennego. Zasadniczo, szczególnie w Europie, duże stolice w rozumieniu aglomeracji, czy też raczej metropolii, mają status ponad lokalny, najczęściej regionalny, niezależnie od ich wewnętrznej organizacji. Oznacza to, że takie obszary metropolitalne podlegają co najmniej dwóm reżimom planowania przestrzennego: lokalnemu (zasadniczo na poziomie gminy) oraz metropolitalnemu. Mimo bogatych tradycji w tym zakresie Warszawa nie posiada obecnie instrumentów planowania metropolitalnego. Artykuł przedstawia tradycję warszawskiego planowania metropolitalnego, obowiązujące regulacje prawne oraz próby przywrócenia niezbędnych mechanizmów planowania metropolitalnego.

Presented results are part of a broader study on the metropolitan region as the space of recreational penetration. It employed diagnostic survey and the tool used was the questionnaire prepared by the authors. The purpose of the following paper is to characterize selected aspects of physical recreation only of inhabitants with disabilities of the Poznań metropolis. It presents below only the results concerning the basic information of physical recreation of this social group, without the analysis of the conditionality of the participations in this kind of leisure time activities. The study results indicate that the participation of people with disabilities in physical recreation near and away from their place of residence is low. Respondents prefer weekend activity near their place of residence and the forms of recreation are not very diverse. They usually use small recreation and sports facilities or they use outdoor infrastructure. Enhanced involvement of people with disabilities in physical recreation together with personalized, adjusted to a given dysfunction offer is required.

The expansion of developed areas is one the factors that influence the distribution of population. Spatial policy implemented by communes reflects the existing tendencies but is also a factor that moulds the occurring processes. The aim of this article is to present the planned development of areas designated for investing, depending on the existing density of population. The article presents relationships between location and present distribution of population, and planned degree of expansion of development of communes located within the Kraków Metropolitan Area (the "KMA"). The range of areas designated for investing was analysed based on valid commune planning documents, which means that the article took into account 52 land use plans concerning all the communes that form the Kraków Metropolitan Area. The object of analysis is the spatial policy of communes related to the expansion of development, as well as demographic conditions of the Kraków Metropolitan Area.

The objective of the article was to re-define the bipolar metropolitan area within the area of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie region (NUTS 2). Concentration of metropolitan features, as well as socio-economic situations of its communes (NUTS 5) in 2011, and also the dynamics of communes’ development in the period 2009-2011 were considered in the procedure of delimitation. Bydgoszcz and Toruń, as the economically strongest cities in the region, were established as the dual core of the bipolar metropolitan area. It was assumed that the determined metropolitan area would cover the best developed and the fastest developing communes which met the following criteria of a metropolitan area: neighbourhood, continuity, compactness, maximum distance and population. The development levels of the communes were determined with the use of syn-thetic measure. Its values were calculated considering the economic (e.g. the amount of income) and also social (e.g. unemployment) aspects of regional devel-opment, as well as features typical of metropolitan areas, such as: well-developed sectors of R&D, knowledge-based economy and serving superior services. In the research, linear arrangement methods classifying as taxonomic tools of multivari-ate data analysis was applied. The metropolitan area resulting from the research (BipOM) slightly differs from the Bydgoszcz-Toruń Metropolitan Area (B-TOM) which was formally ap-pointed in 2005 and composed all of the communes located within the area of the Bydgoski and Toruński districts (NUTS 4). Chełmża and Koronowo, as the less developed communes of the districts, were excluded from the new metropolitan area, while the communes of Ciechocinek, Nakło and Unisław, belonging to the neighbouring districts of the region, were included in the BipOM due to their significant level of regional development and its dynamics. Furthermore the Inowrocław district (bordered on the BipOM) was identified as the prospective candidate for the BipOM, due to the fact that its communes demonstrate a high potential for regional development.

Objectives: The purpose of this article is to show and highlight the selected development-related trends of urban areas in Poland, with particular emphasis put on the phenomena that constitute urban sprawl, and taking into consideration historical aspects of the urban sprawl. Research Design & Methods: The object of the study was Poland. The important base of the analysis was the historical evolution of the urban sprawl in Poland. The main research method is a comparative analysis based on historical examples in order to show the “roots” of the development processes of the urban sprawl in Poland as well as their characteristic features. Findings: As a result of the research, the authors have determined that the Polish urban sprawl is specific and results from historical changes, the mentality of Polish people, economic processes, and legal conditions (too liberal laws on spatial planning). Contribution / Value Added: This research adds to knowledge about the circumstances of the phenomenon of the urban sprawl in Poland, its evolution, and – above all – the degree of the individualisation of the causes and consequences of the Polish urban sprawl, which will allow decision-makers to adopt appropriate tools to support local development. Implications / Recommendations: Polish urban sprawl is specific due to the high degree of suburban urban chaos (disorganised, spontaneous development), which has negative economic, social, and environmental consequences. In connection with the consequences of urban sprawl, action should be two-fold: on the one hand, it is about organising stretched suburban areas, giving them new spatial, social, cultural, and economic values. Here, an important role is played by spatial and social planning; the search for axes crystallising the organisation of space, i.e. places around which development could concentrate, creating more focused and ordered areas. There is also a need for centres of social concentration that could create centres of social life. This role could be played by cultural institutions (e.g. libraries), educational institutions, or religious institutions. On the other hand, it is necessary to create conditions for a ‘return to the cities’ for those whose life situation has changed, e.g. if their children are of legal age and independent, or who grew up in the suburbs. The latter is very complex. It would be difficult to identify existing cities that have ‘recovered’ their inhabitants from suburban areas on a large scale. Infrastructural preparation is needed, i.e. some sort of the rebuilding of cities, especially their centres. What is needed is the development of services and recreational spaces as well as the creation of new opportunities and possibilities.

Krakow’s Metropolitan Area (KOM), as delineated in the Malopolskie Province Spatial Development Plan, is comprised of 51 municipalities which meet the criteria required by the indicators included in the Plan. Once categorized as a municipality that fits KOM’s criteria, each municipality official had the opportunity to sign an agreement that would confirm their desire to be part of KOM. This decision is completely voluntary as no administrative writ has been imposed. The freewill of this choice is worth underlining because it reflects upon the effectiveness of KOM. The socioeconomic variation between KOM municipalities may significantly affect the interpretation of the notion “metropolitan area,” its general approval, and the decisions made by the participating municipalities, which are not always congruent with KOM’s needs. The main goal of this article is to analyze differences in the level of municipalities’ socio-economic development and to identify the benefits of KOM adherence. This research compares public services fruition and utilization in the municipalities with those in Krakow’s Metropolitan Area as a whole. KOM’s municipalities are very diverse as far as socio-economic development is concerned, something mainly shaped by natural environment conditions, various economic developmental goals (connected with existing economic and social potential) and the available technical infrastructure equipment. The present activities by the municipalities’ governments concerning public services are not in accordance with the ideals offered by KOM. This situation results from the large size of Krakow’s Metropolitan Area, semiformal groups of interest lobby and a lack of genuine bonds between most of KOM’s municipalities.

PL

Krakowski obszar metropolitalny (KOM), wyznaczony w Planie zagospodarowania przestrzennego województwa małopolskiego, składa się z 51 gmin, które spełniają kryteria określone miernikami zawartymi w planie. Akces do obszaru metropolitalnego – w postaci podpisanego przez przedstawicieli danej gminy porozumienia – był wyrazem woli tej gminy, a nie został wymuszony nakazem administracyjnym. Fakt ten trzeba uwypuklić, ponieważ dobrowolność akcesu ma swoje implikacje w funkcjonowaniu KOM. Społeczno-gospodarcze zróżnicowanie gmin może bowiem wpłynąć na interpretacje samego pojęcia „obszar metropolitalny”, jak i na ogólna akceptacje idei rozwoju regionu oraz na decyzje całej aglomeracji. Artykuł analizuje różnice w poziomie rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego gmin przynależnych do KOM oraz przedstawia Wpływ tej struktury w zakresie realizacji usług publicznych w gminach, przy uwzględnieniu całego obszaru metropolitalnego Krakowa. Podkreślić należy, że nie wszystkie działania gmin w sferze usług publicznych są zgodne z idea KOM – sytuacja ta wynika z dużego rozmiaru krakowskiego obszaru metropolitalnego, oddziaływania semiformalnych grup interesów i lobby, a także z braku więzi między większością gmin KOM.

Metropolitan areas are increasingly often regarded as the key drivers of economic growth and the main targets of social and economic development strategies. Those processes are fraught with numerous limitations and barriers. The aim of this study was to identify major problems in the development of Polish metropolitan areas. The key issues were characterized based on a review of the available literature. Attempts were made to propose general solutions to selected problems. In Poland, the identification of metropolitan areas poses a problem, which lowers the effectiveness of management strategies for those regions. Polish urban agglomerations have weakly developed metropolitan functions, which compromises their status in European rankings and European metropolitan area networks.

The development of local government is one of the key factors that contributedto the democratization of the political system in Poland. The process of building local government in Poland is still not finished, and there are new challenges. One of the important issues is the question of increasing role of metropolitan areas and large urban areas. The subject of the article was an analysis of the parliamentary Act on the metropolitan district. The proposed project does not fit the local reality. The good thing was that this project provoked the debate. As a result, it developed a new solution – the Act on metropolitan associations.

Proces budowy samorządu terytorialnego w Polsce nie jest skończony, a przed nami pojawiają się nowe wyzwania. Jednym z istotnych zagadnień jest kwestia zwiększenia roli metropolii i dużych aglomeracji miejskich. Przedmiotem artykułu stała się analiza poselskiego projektu ustawy o powiecie metropolitalnym. Przedstawiony projekt nie przystaje do samorządowej rzeczywistości. Nie ulega jednak wątpliwości, że dobrze się stało, iż ten projekt trafił pod obrady parlamentu, bowiem stał się podstawą do ożywionej dyskusji. W jej efekcie wypracowano nowe rozwiązanie – ustawę o związkach metropolitalnych.

Krakow is one of the most recognizable Polish tourist destinations, has been included in the tourist metropolitan regions. The Old Town in Krakow and the Wieliczka Salt Mine were included in 1978 to the first World Heritage List of Culture and Nature. Krakow was the European Capital of Culture in 2000. It belongs to the UNESCO Creative Cities Network, was in 2013 honoured as the UNESCO City of Literature, and the European Gastronomic Academy chose Kraków as the European Capital of Gastronomy Culture in 2019. Tourism in Krakow has a very important economic function. In 2018, Krakow has been visited by as many as 13.5 million people, including over 3 million guests from abroad. In the same year, tourists spent almost PLN 6.5 billion during their stay in Krakow, and the GDP generated by the tourist industry in Krakow is over 8% of the city's total GDP. Tourism gives Krakow 29 thousand permanent jobs, and taking into account multiplier effects, generates over 40,000 of them. In the article, the authors describe the importance of tourism for the city's economy, analyse the size of tourism, income from tourism and employment in tourism, as well as changes in the perception of the tourist offer of the city in the opinion of tourists over the last 10 years. They pay attention to changes in the theme of arrivals and satisfaction related to their visit in Krakow.

The paper investigates into the specific features of the residents living in the metropolitan areas (MAs) in Poland. Basing on the statistical data and survey conducted in the two Polish MAs we draw conclusions on the spatial and political behaviour of metropolitan residents and on their territorial identity. The results show that a fair share of metropolitan residents live in a scale wider then their home municipality. Moreover some citizens (especially those who migrated to suburbs recently and those with higher education) reveal stronger spatial identity with the whole metropolitan area then with their home municipality. Delocalisation is also reflected in the lack of interest in municipal politics and low trust in suburb municipal politicians, while their interest in general politics remains on a high level.

This article presents the premises, current status and the prospects of using functional urban areas as the focus of Poland's development policy. For the past 10 years, cities, especially large ones, have been increasingly impacting on their surrounding areas defined as functional urban areas. The size of those areas is determined by the process of suburbanisation. The article emphasises the issue of uncoordinated development of functional urban areas surrounding core cities and on grassroot and top-down attempts to integrate their development.

The article presents the essence, goals and instruments of soft (informal, non-statutory) spatial planning, developed in the countries of Western Europe and relatively new in Poland. It targets areas with fuzzy borders (soft spaces) and areas between administration tiers. The article presents conceptual issues and non-formal planning tools used in Western Europe. The planning approaches which are generally described as “soft” are characterised by non-formalised and non-binding procedures, and by their focus on achieving a consensus. In the first part of the article presents the conceptual issues and further informal planning instruments used in Western European countries at diferent spatial scales The following section presents deficits of spatial planning of metropolitan areas and against this background - the legitimacy of creating informal plans in Poland, using Metropolia Poznań as an example

W artykule zaprezentowano najistotniejsze problemy i perspektywy rozwojowe dotyczące pozyskiwania i analizy danych dla metropolii polskich. Podstawowe zagadnienia w tej mierze obejmują: definicję obszaru metropolitalnego i funkcjonalnego, źródła informacji statystycznych, metody estymacji brakujących informacji oraz – wciąż występujące – problemy organizacyjne i metodologiczne. Szczególnie dużo uwagi poświęcono zaletom i wyzwaniom wynikającym z uczestnictwa Polski w różnych międzynarodowych przedsięwzięciach związanych ze statystyką regionalną, takich jak URBAN AUDIT, EURAREA itp. Pierwsze z nich dostarcza wielu interesujących propozycji odnośnie do oceny warunków życia ludności miejskiej i delimitacji obszarów metropolitalnych opartych głównie na koncepcji zasięgu oddziaływania miasta. Celem drugiego z tych projektów jest konstrukcja, rozwój i badanie użyteczności teoretycznych narzędzi estymacji dla małych obszarów. Ponadto ukazano możliwości polskiej statystyki regionalnej w zakresie obserwacji metropolii i stymulacji ich funkcjonowania zarówno z analitycznego punktu widzenia, jak też dla wspierania podejmowania decyzji na szczeblu lokalnym.

In this paper, we present the most important problems and development perspectives concerning the collection and analysis of data on Polish metropolises. The basic issues described in this context are: the definition of metropolis and functional city, sources of statistical information, methods of estimating missing data, and some persisting organizational and methodological problems. A special attention is paid to advantages and challenges of Poland’s participation in various international projects relating to regional statistics, such as URBAN AUDIT, EURAREA, etc. The former project provides many interesting propositions concerning assessment of living conditions of urban population and delimitation of metropolitan areas based mainly on a concept of the city’s scope of action. The latter is aimed at construction, development and research on the usefulness of theoretical tools of small area estimation. Moreover, we look at the potential of Polish regional statistics in terms of observation of metropolises and stimulation of their functioning, from the analytical point of view and in order to support decision-making at the local level.

The local self-government system in Poland has been evolving since its restitution in 1990. One of the major problems discussed in recent years is the issue of the system of metropolitan areas, metropolises and agglomerations (what was before referred to as large cities). The issue is complex, which is refl ected in, i.a., attempts to develop systemic solutions regarding large cities and hinterlands. The aim of the paper is to analyze draft laws put forth by various entities relating to this very issue, including their underlying assumptions. The draft laws and assumptions presented in the paper were developed mostly in response to the reality of the collaboration of large urban centers and adjacent municipalities demonstrating clearly that the solutions based on the institution of voluntary municipal unions do not yield the desired effects for large cities and metropolitan areas. In spite of the common belief that some legislative solutions regarding the system of government regulating the legal status of metropolitan areas must be adopted in Poland, the first Act on metropolitan areas was passed only in 2015, and even a single municipal association has not been established on its grounds.

One of the key challenges of spatial policy in developed countries is the problem of integrated planning in highly urbanized areas. Problems related to the lack of coordination of local spatial policies are particularly important in areas of dynamic suburbanization and housing development, such as the Poznan agglomeration. In Poland, however, there are no appropriate legal mechanisms that allow for proper integration of planning at the metropolitan level. In this situation the only way to overcome the problems of planning is the voluntary cooperation of local governments. In the Poznan agglomeration one can observe only its origins, however, studies conducted by researchers and planners indicate a clear need for continuation and strengthening of this process.

PL

Jednym z kluczowych wyzwań polityki przestrzennej w większości krajów rozwiniętych jest problem spójności planowania w obszarach wysoko zurbanizowanych. Problemy związane z brakiem koordynacji polityki przestrzennej jednostek lokalnych uwidaczniają się szczególnie na obszarach charakteryzujących się dynamicznym ruchem budowlanym i silnymi procesami suburbanizacji, takich jak m.in. aglomeracja poznańska. W Polsce nie istnieją jednak właściwe mechanizmy ustawowe, które pozwalają na odpowiednią integracjęe planowania na poziomie metropolitalnym. W tej sytuacji jedynym sposobem przezwyciężenia problemów planistycznych jest oddolna i dobrowolna współpraca samorządów lokalnych. W aglomeracji poznańskiej można zaobserwować dopiero jej początki, jednak prowadzone przez naukowców i urbanistów prace studialne wskazują na ewidentną konieczność pogłębienia tego procesu.
