Service And Industrial Areas In Land-Use Plans – Potential For The Development Of Local Production Systems In Regional Capitals In Poland
Abstract
The paper purpose is to present the potential of regional capital cities in Poland when it comes
to providing land for the development of business (service) and industrial functions. We need
to stress that these areas impact the competitiveness of cities and are decisive for their future
growth. They create opportunities for establishing links between enterprises and institutions
based in a given city, which helps building innovation potential within the territorial unit in
question. That is vital particularly in agglomerations, which are considered knowledge and
innovation concentration centres. The paper provides an analysis of the potential of available
industrial and business areas and enables to assess which of regional capitals offer the biggest
land reserves capable of hosting these two functions.
