Whose is the city? This question only superficially refers to the past when at least some cities were in fact law-making, autonomous communities of their citizens. Unlike in the past, the contemporary city is a random collection of individuals gathered in a space with no clear boundaries, who in their majority have a weak sense of identification with the place of their residence, whether longer or shorter. The residents of such a city are not citizens but merely users of space which has become a commodity. Taking Warsaw as an example, the paper shows the process of selling out the city space, which is driven by globalisation and metropolisation processes. The consequence of this is privatisation and fragmentation of space, leading to the evaporation of public space in the city.

Metropolises are hubs of the flow of goods, services, information, capital, people and, at the same time, the most important units in the structure of the voivodship’s settlement. This means that, though metropolis centers are naturally focused on cooperating with other like population centres, „involuntary” metropolis-region interaction may be observed (in theory it is difficult to determine the strength and nature of the relationship between the metropolis center and the region it is in). This article compares the development potential of the metropolitan centre to the regional context from both a static and dynamic perspective. Wrocław and Dolnośląskie voivodship, Kraków and the Małopolska region, and Warsaw and Mazowieckie voivodship serve as examples. A portfolio of indicators describing the process of regional and local development is analysed. The industrial structure of economies is also considered, allowing the place occupied by the metropolises’ development potential in their respective regions to be determined. The research will make it possible to create proposals for the structure of trade and economic development indicators of a metropolis and its regional environment. All of this will allow general conclusions on the role of the metropolis to be drawn, not only on the creation of the socio-economic development of the region, but also concerning the interaction between the metropolitan center and the region, which seems to be particularly important to the present differences in views on this issue in the subject literature.

The ongoing globalisation of the world economy has a considerable impact on the de-velopment of regions and their competitiveness. Contemporary learning regions must face numerous challenges. The present paper discusses the following challenges for regional competitiveness: (i) innovation as a key to regional competitiveness, (ii) metropolisation, (iii) internationalisation of regions, (iv) networking of regional economies, and (v) creativity at the national and regional level.
