The issue of urban revitalization is becoming increasingly important in Poland. The reason for this is not only the degree of degradation of many cities or parts of them, which leads to a decline in their attractiveness or the appearance of problems of a social and economic nature. The growing importance of urban revitalization is also due to the fact that its positive effects can affect the situation not only of the local system, but also of supra-local systems, stimulating in them the desired phenomena and processes, important for development in a broader spatial perspective.

At the end of 2009, the Polish Civic Forum and the Institute for Market Economy Research published a publication that was small in size (140 pages), but important in content, entitled How to make regions the engines of Poland’s development and modernization. The publication mainly contains the texts of speeches at a conference organized by the Polish Senate on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the new voivodeships (also known as regions) and the 20th anniversary of democracy in Poland.

The processes of metropolization and the formation of functional urbanized areas are associated, among other things, with the “spillover” of the central city of the metropolis beyond its administrative boundaries. “Spillover” is one of the causes of changes in the ways and forms of development of the city and its surrounding areas.
