The article deals with the use of spatial planning tools serving to improve the quality of space in post-industrial areas along with the possibilities of using modern technologies in the field of renewable energy sources. The analysis was carried out on the example of the Upper Silesian metropolis which occupies about 8% of the region’s area with its distinct industrial and post-industrial areas. The urban area determines the image of a region associated with pollutants and a degraded environment. This is a challenge for planners.

157 nature reserves are situated in different parts of the spatial structure of Polish towns and cities. They were established at different times and often for different reasons than the nature reserves located outside Polish cities. Due to their location, urban reserves are very frequently used similarly to other green open spaces. The aim of this paper is to identify the main protection objectives of nature reserves located in towns and cities in order to find out to what extent their inevitable recreational use results in management problems

French encyclopedists defined a museum as the sum of human knowledge and art, a place that can become both a theater and an auditorium. Professor Andrzej Kicinski wrote in his book on museums that both libraries and museums are a necessary and integral part of building identity, but also the landscape of the city. Recipients of spaces associated with museums are a social group that creates a new quality through a kind of initiation and sensitivity to contemporary social and artistic issues.

Cohesion policy plays a key role for the dynamics of the European integration process, and is in a sense a “barometer” of the strength and direction of this process, around which the European debate has been taking place in recent years. This policy in the current programming period (2014-2020) has a clear “territorial dimension,” i.e. it allows the nature of support to be tailored to the peculiarities and needs of specific territories.

In 2017, the Editorial Team of the scientific periodical MAZOWSZE Regional Studies faced a serious challenge. The interest in our journal among authors and readers from various scientific backgrounds, as well as among practitioners involved in spatial development and public policy, confirmed our conviction that what we do is important, but it also became a starting point for undertaking changes that must be aimed at developing and expanding our activities.
