The right for electing the representatives of authority bodies is one of the fundamentals of democracy. This right entitles citizens for active public participation through expressing their support (votes) for candidates, which will respectively represent their voters in certain institutions. Polish electoral law, which regulates the local self–government elections is very controversial. The existing legal rules were changed many times since 2011. Among the subjects being discussed one can mention electoral campaigns, candidate registration rules and organization of elections. Frequent changes in the electoral law result in misunderstandings and unwillingness to participate in elections. Their effect is low voter turnout and a large number of invalid votes. To sum up considerations over a political model of large cities, it is worth to indicate that during the last 25 years of operation of Polish local government none of political models of big cities was adopted.

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.

Focusing on the joint analysis of security trends and the organization of the private security market in France, this article addresses the new relationships between different security players and modern citizenship and society within the framework of metropolization. Despite the construction of an extended sovereign power, especially after the Second World War, the governments started to cooperate in the 1990s with other partners and to vary the levels of decision making in terms of security policies. Experts from private security companies or local councillors are new operators in the so-called “security co-production”. An analysis at the metropolis scale seems important in order to understand the issues related to security for two reasons: firstly, because of the particular pressure connected to the recent terrorist attacks than can affect the “identity” of the city; secondly, because “incivility” – constructed as a major political problem since the 1990s – is linked to social structures of local territories within a wider one, with differentiated means for the people who live in the metropolitan center of social framework. The social representations of order and social control are still based on the relationships between private property, transports and public (access) spaces. The new security identity of cities depends on the relationships between local policies and the socio-economic reality of citizens, including private security guards, whose life conditions are an expression of the paradoxes of modern life.

Metropolis logistics is a new research issue that begins to play an important role in shaping inter-organizational relationships. The concept of logistics in metropolitan context is a contemporary term used primarily to identify issues that will improve the transformation of products and information in building inter-organizational efficiency. On the one hand, the issues of metropolitan logistics are based on shaping the flow of products and information in building inter-organizational efficiency. On the other hand, the formation of inter-organizational bonds has a complex and multidimensional structure that creates a specific network of interactions, in which metropolitan logistics determines their development in relation to the environment. The aim of the article is to identify the conditions that build up inter-organizational relations within the Silesian-Zagłębie (Ś-Z) metropolitan area. The article presents selected results of exploratory research carried out among logistic entities operating in the Silesian-Zagłębie metropolitan area. The authors attempted to answer the question: what are the challenges ahead of metropolitan logistics in shaping interorganizational relationships?

The article concerns the real estate market in Polish metropolitan areas and the factors that affect it. The purpose of this study is to identify the most important elements affecting the conditions, functioning and perspectives of the real estate market. In the study six metropolitan areas: Warsaw, Łódź, Cracow, Wrocław, Poznań and Tri-City have been presented. The comparison of statistics and annual reports of selected banks and consulting firms have shown that the real estate market changed under the influence of external factors, associated with changes in the world economy and the crisis. The beginning of the changes was a crisis on the mortgage market in the United States and internal factors associated with Polish economic situation connected with the Polish accession to the European Union in 2004 and with amended legislation on the conditions for obtaining loans for the purchase of real estates.

The coordination of indebtness of states and, consequently, local government units, is becoming increasingly more important all over the world. The effects caused by the excessive levels of debt can be observed not only in Poland but all over the world, which greatly intensified the financial crisis that occurred in 2008. This publication will examine a problem of the impact of capital expenditure on the deficit in the biggest cities in Poland, which as a consequence increases their debt. The aim of the study is to answer the question whether capital expenditures have a significant impact on the deficit in metropolitan areas in Poland and if excessive debt brake policy may affect investment in major Polish cities. As the study shows capital expenditures, which are so crucial to the development of infrastructure of the metropolises in Poland, do not play a significant impact on the deficit. Despite a constant volume of capital expenditure in the period covered by the study there was a significant decrease in the size of the deficits of the metropolises. Therefore the policy of controlling the debt level does not limit capital expenditure in the metropolises by the lack of effect of that category on the development of deficits.

We are condemned to wander – critically, emotionally, politically, passionately – in a world characterized by an excess of sense which, while offering the chance of meaning continues to flee ahead us. This is our world, our responsibility, our only chance. In this paper, we see that the metropolis narrated by Peter Ackroyd and Penelope Lively is above all ‘a myth, a tale, a character, a living-body’, an imaginary construct, ‘a telling’ that helps some of us to locate our home in postmodernity. To inhabit a city is to be immersed in a common experience. It is the chatter of the city that now maintains this site of a discourse and dialogue. In the metropolis, it becomes necessary to form a new sense of ethics in its multiple and differential histories. The Mind - being it of the Reader or of the Writer - is eventually the site of sense.

In its methodological context, the article, expands on the idea of the organization of the “Silesia” superstructure. The idea of establishing a common urban organism emerged with the local governments of the Upper Silesian conurbation cities and was dictated by the need to find a way to change the traditional image of the Silesian region and its post-industrial role in the economic space of the country, as well as Europe. Therefore, in 2009, the Metropolitan Association of Upper- Silesia, an association for the initial institutionalization of “Silesia”, was registered, because “Silesia” does not hold any administrative or legal force. Such an organizational “revolution” of the Upper Silesian conurbation initiated a wide social debate, in which the arguments of both supporters and opponents of such an enterprise in the Silesian region became apparent, together with misunderstandings related to the term “metropolis”, and the idea of establishing “Silesia”. Representatives of local governments chose the more prestigious term “metropolis” as if a complex metropolisation had taken place in the Upper Silesian conurbation. It would be adequate, however, to look only for the first features of metropolitan functions in this de-industrialized and restructured region, which are going to shape the longlasting metropolisation process under the influence of globalisation.

Górnośląsko-Zagłębiowska Metropolia (Metropolis GZM) is the first metropolitan association operating in Poland according to the Act. It includes 41 municipalities of various sizes, administrative statuses and affiliations to cultural regions. This situation poses a significant challenge for integrating municipalities and residents of the Metropolis GZM. The article presents an analysis of selected social dimensions of intra-metropolitan diversity, taking into account the size structure of the municipality and the cultural heterogeneity of the Metropolis GZM. The empirical point of reference was a secondary analysis of data from original and co-authored research conducted in the metropolitan area in the last ten years and publicly available data from public sources. Their analysis revealed, on the one hand, the durability of symbolic boundaries (including phantom ones), the emerging new divisions (between new and rooted inhabitants of peripheral metropolitan municipalities), and, on the other hand, the deepening functional integration of the municipalities and inhabitants belonging to Metropolis GZM.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie procesów konwergencji wewnątrzregionalnej w różnych typach europejskich makroregionów metropolitalnych w latach 1995–2004. Do wyróżnienia tych typów wykorzystano analizę czynnikową przeprowadzoną metodą składowych głównych oraz analizę skupień metodą Warda. W efekcie możliwe stało się ukazanie specyficznej sytuacji różnych typów makroregionów, w tym między innymi „pęknięcia” regionów stołecznych krajów Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej oraz innych makroregionów peryferyjnych. Największą spójnością wewnętrzną charakteryzowały się natomiast makroregiony nowoczesnego przemysłu położone w północnych Włoszech oraz południowej części Niemiec, a także regiony problemowe pozostające w trakcie restrukturyzacji. Najbardziej zróżnicowaną grupą, która nie tworzyła jednak osobnego typu, okazały się makroregiony stołeczne mniejszych krajów przede wszystkim dawnej UE 15.

EN

The article presents intraregional convergence processes in different types of European metropolitan macro-regions in the years 1995–2004. The typology is based on factor analysis using principal components methods as well as cluster analysis using the Ward method. The results of the analysis indicate the presence of a specific situation in particular types of macro-regions. On the one hand, a clear internal divide of capital city regions of Central and Eastern European Countries was observed, as well as large interregional differences in the level of development in other peripheral macro-regions. On the other hand, Northern Italian and Southern German macro-regions, dependent on modern industry, were internally quite coherent regarding their level of development. The situation was similar also in some regions that experience problems and undergo restructurisation processes. Capital city regions of smaller European countries, especially from the former EU15 (but not constituting any particular type), were the most differentiated group of macro-regions.
