As envisioned by the Hague Convention of May 14, 1954, the Blue Shield mark was intended to serve a recognition function – to indicate objects and means of transport to be protected in the event of armed conflict. It has become an international symbol, protecting historic buildings from devastation and oblivion, used much more widely than provided for in the Convention. Many global heritage organizations and initiatives have adopted the mark as their own logo.

The article gives suggestions on how to include Mazovian monuments in the tourist movement and how to make monuments an attraction that will attract tourists every weekend. There are more than 6,000 listed monuments and more than 6,000 archaeological sites in Mazovia. However, few of them are known to the average Mazovian. That is why the idea of creating a Route of Mazovian Princes was born, which runs through the whole of Mazovia, linking about 100 localities worthy of visitors’ attention. Thematic tourist trails are one way to promote the region’s cultural heritage.

Its purpose was to present the materials prepared since 2004 for the spatial development plan for the Warsaw Metropolitan Area and to confront them with plans drawn up in other European metropolises. The plans were also confronted in the context of the importance of metropolitan plans for regional development and their position in the planning system. The materials presented by the Mazovian Regional Planning Office were prepared in the form of the publication of the Study of the Spatial Development Plan of the Warsaw Metropolitan Area.

Planning activities are purposeful: they should lead to the selection of appropriate development goals and appropriate ways to achieve them. The effectiveness of planning activities in the sense of creating rational (justified by conditions and needs) strategies, policies, plans and programs of action depends, among other things, on objective assessment of development phenomena and processes, as well as the ability to predict the occurrence of these phenomena and processes and their consequences.

The paradigm of sustainable development is now widely accepted, both globally and locally. However, only the full implementation of the concept of sustainable development into the various fields of knowledge, as well as the practice of programming and strategic planning, provides the basis for the implementation of socio-economic development that takes into account natural aspects and intergenerational justice.
