The purpose of the article is to assess the degree to which the implemented road construction projects contributed to the strengthening of the polycentric pattern of the Polish region of Mazovia (Mazowieckie voivodeship). The investigations conducted may also enable a broader consideration of the effectiveness of transport policy in the context of the most important spatial policy and territorial cohesion objectives of the EU. The spatial scope of the research encompasses the region of Mazovia, but the analyses performed also referto the entire country. The analysis carried out had a dynamical character and concerns the period between 2007 and 2017.

Participation is an indispensable element of the development and implementation of revitalisation programmes. It allows for a correct diagnosis of problems and for the development of revitalisation projects that will aim at solving them. The implementation of the Revitalisation Act in Poland obliged local governments to involve stakeholders more actively in the process of preparation and implementation of revitalisation programmes. The Act guarantees participation at every key stage of the process. In current Polish circumstances this is a change in the right direction, as such participation was not always ensured in previous financial perspectives.

The demographic changes of the 21st century, especially all aspects of ageing, require discussion about the needs of an ageing society which should lead to the development of urban and architectural solutions for older people, based on examples of senior cohousing. The ageing process should be taken into account because it affects older people on many levels and influences their functioning in a society.

Project YouInHerit is financed through the INTERREG Central Europe 2014-2020 Programme. Revival of old trades and crafts which can keep together communities and make them sustainable by contributing to their economic wellbeing is the main focus of the project: old wine cellars in Hungary, salt pans or traditional pottery in Slovenia, breweries in Poland, old boats of Italy or olive groves in Croatia are essential for local attractiveness and could be better exploited as a source of living for people.
