Jeszcze raz w sprawie metropolii

Abstract

Much has been written about metropolises. Unfortunately, the problem of the structure of metropolitan areas has yet to be resolved. Therefore, new projects which propose solutions to this problem continually appear. The justification for these works is that the growing needs of residents and their efforts to improve the quality of life have a significant impact on the issue of how best to manage urban areas. In cohesion policy, territorial cohesion comes to the fore, understood as the possibility of cooperation between regions and local systems. In this approach, it is territory that exerts an influence. Territory is thus understood as a dynamic arrangement of various connections, which changes in space and time, and goes beyond the scope of administrative division.
