Smart City strategies and new urban development policies in the Polish context
In their bid to combine economic growth with efficiency gains, environmental improvements, and more positive images, Polish cities have embraced Smart City (SC) strategies. Normative visions of the Smart City couple advances in ICT with the promise of more inclusive, effective and democratic local governance, but critics of SC urge caution. This study identifies the priority areas of large Polish cities with regard to SC and the extent to which s…
Small Diplomacy: Cultural Cooperation As a Factor Alleviating Societal Tensions. The Case of Lviv and Its Polish Partner Cities
Poland and Ukraine share a long and complicated history with some really dramatic events which still overshadow relations between both nations, especially those which took place in Volhynia and other areas with a mixed Polish–Ukrainian population during 1943–1945 when soldiers of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), the military wing of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists – Bandera faction (OUN-B), planned and carried out the extermination …
Integrate to compete: Gdańsk–Gdynia metropolitan area
The aim of this article was to analyse the problems related to the processes of creation of metropolitan areas. The Polish case of Gdańsk–Gdynia metropolitan area constitutes the basis for the discussion as its polycentric structure intensifies the problems that stem from integration and the restructuring of administrative power. The difficulties in the creation of new metropolitan entities are well illustrated by the lack of agreement on the nam…

Thus, our understanding of on-going urban transformations in this part of the world is skewed towards a handful of urban areas. This paper takes a different approach by studying the post-socialist transformations of the socio-spatial structure of a second-tier city, bas…
Post‐Socialist Transformation, European Neighbourhood and Civil Society Networks between Poland, Russia and Ukraine: A Case of Multi‐level Contingency
Does the EU, either through its policies or a more indirect influence on cross‐border cooperation, provide an opportunity structure for promoting civil society networks within Central and Eastern European contexts of organizational and institutional asymmetry? Evidence from Polish–Ukrainian and Polish–Russian (Kaliningrad) civil society cooperation suggests that the EU plays a vital role here in mediating between very different socio‐political re…
