The article includes part of the research results from the second chapter of the module report “Physical Capital”. The module report was carried out within the framework of the project “Infrastructure development and physical capital and polycentricity of Mazovia’s development” (Development trends of Mazovia). In one of the chapters of the module, entitled. “Physical Capital – Non-Productive Assets,” included a description of building and housing properties in the context of Mazovia’s housing situation. The article’s main focus is on determining the value of the province’s housing stock. An estimate of the overall value of housing stock in Mazovia indicates that more than half of the assets contained in dwellings are located within the borders of Warsaw, about a quarter in the Warsaw Metropolitan Area and only less than a quarter – in the rest of the voivodeship.

The article assesses the new situation of the labor market of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship in two spatial dimensions – as a whole and according to the typological division of municipalities. The analysis was made on the basis of estimates of the actual number of jobs and the actual number of employed. The following aspects were examined: the size and structure of the Mazovian market, spatial accessibility of labor markets, spatial differentiation of wages, the role of new and creative enterprises in shaping the labor market, and the level of unemployment. As a result of the study, two features of the labor market in Mazovia stand out.

As part of the broad program of the 95th anniversary of the granting of city rights to Otwock (November 9, 1916), a popular science session was organized, entitled Passing Landscapes of Mazovia – Otwock 1916 – 2011. The organizers of the session were the Otwock branch of PTTK and the Otwock City Hall, and the event was held under the patronage of the Marshal of the Mazovian Voivodeship, Adam Struzik, the Mayor of Otwock, Zbigniew Szczepaniak, and the President of the Polish Tourist Society, Lech Drożdżyński. The conference was part of the cultural tradition and material history of an important part of the Mazovian area. It can be treated as a kind of presentation of the so-called “small homeland”, which at the same time shows the role it played in the past and will play in the future. Integration within the European Union will not only not deprive Mazovia of its national heritage, but on the contrary, it will contribute to its preservation.

Over the past decade or so, increasing importance in the development of cities, including in the shaping of their public spaces, has been attributed to the creative sector, which consists of activities based on individual creativity and talent. The activities of creative companies have a growing share in generating income for cities, and also account for their investment and settlement attractiveness. The development of the creative sector is associated with the presence of the so-called creative class, which in turn is a mobile class seeking attractive working and living conditions.

Support programs, directed to municipalities in Poland, concern many spheres of public life. One of them is the social activity of residents – an important factor from the point of view of mobilizing the endogenous development capital of municipalities. Social activity manifests itself and is simultaneously strengthened by non-governmental organizations – organizations of the so-called third sector. The article presents the specifics of non-governmental organizations in rural areas of the Lodz Voivodeship and the changes in their functioning that have occurred due to the participation of municipalities in the Post-Accession Rural Support Program (RDP).

This article is devoted to the issue of shaping a positive image of the Piaseczno suburban municipality, which is beginning to be affected by developmental problems, manifested in the increasing tendency of residents, especially the young, to move to Warsaw. The inconveniences of daily life in chaotically developed towns, with underdeveloped transport infrastructure, congested access roads to Warsaw, and an insufficient number of recreational and leisure places, have caused residents to increasingly disapprove of the municipality in which they live.
