Polityka miejska wobec problemów społeczno-gospodarczych będących skutkiem kryzysu globalnego
Streszczenie
A crisis of a city is typically regarded as synonymous to the crisis of public finance – it arises
from insufficient investments by the local and national public sector. However, contemporary
cities face also other challenges, apart from the obvious lack of financial resources – such as
effects of the global crisis which are cause predominantly by the actions of the private sector.
The problems of contemporary cities require that public authorities professionalize in their approach
to management. Sustainable, long-term development of a city will not be possible, unless
many issues such as: communication, housing, water supply, waste management, rational management
of space, modernization of various forms of development, education, health care, preventing
social pathologies, proper social relations, shaping social structures or stimulating the development
of income-generating functions are efficiently solved. That is why creating an adequate
urban policy and implementing it with the use of appropriate methods and instruments which
allow for efficient regulation of social relations and public service provision should be the domain
of public authorities.
