The notion of a network is one of the key terms used to describe the contemporary world. The role of cooperation networks is also stressed in the context of innovation and its spatial aspects. In this particular case, most attention is given to metropolises as major networks of flows not only of people, capital or goods, but also of information and knowledge. The paper discusses selected spatial aspects of collaborative networks in Polish science. The discussion of examples is preceded by a theoretical introduction intended to outline various aspects of innovation networks at national and regional levels, with particular emphasis on the role of metropolises in collaborative networks.

This paper addresses the relations between art and everyday life in the city from the vantage points of urban aesthetics and sociology, where the “city” refers as well to a normative world. The aim is to show how art/artistic life contributed to the normative change and new urban lifestyles. First, I focus on Baudelaire’s theory of beauty and life in modern metropolis or the city as “poetic object” and dandyism as an art of the self, seen as a crucial normative change: the emergence of new norms of excellence and art of living, such as creativity and self-fashioning. Second, I discuss a recent yet related normative change, described by Boltanski and Chiapello as a passage to the “project-oriented city”, seen as a new way of working and living that fuses cultures of creativity and uncertainty. Third, I tackle the “creative city” hailed by Florida, where the creative lifestyle of “creative people” is the new mainstream setting the norms for society: individuality, diversity and openness, but also impermanent relationships and loose ties. I will argue that extending the hyper-mobile and flexible creative lifestyle from the extraordinary figure of the artist to ordinary people, as everyday urban life, triggers both benefits and risks.

A metropolis develops its own path of economy. The intensity of its growth attracts next investments by multiply base. Often foreign investors decide to locate their businesses in a large settler centre, although some of them look for localization which meets their expectations. Meeting the conditions is often impossible in a metropolitan area. That is why investors seek other localizations in surrounding areas of a metropolis.

The article deals with the problem of intensive and often uncontrolled expansion of villages situated close to large cities, putting special emphasis on changes that occur in the rural landscape and social consequences of suburbanisation. Villages situated around large cities have been presented as separate settlement units whose specificity is largely determined by their trans-border character. The motive for launching research into the problem was the need to expand the scope of characteristics of the population of immigrants from large cities. The article concentrates on the profile of new residents of villages situated in metropolitan areas and the related issue of shuttle migration. An attempt at describing the phenomenon of suburban communities forms the final part of the research project.
