Rozwój miast metropolitalnych Polski w kontekście rozwoju zrównoważonego
The development of Polish metropolitan cities in the context of sustainable development

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the work is to determine the level of sustainable development of metropolitan cities in Poland within its basic dimensions. Three main dimensions have been considered: social, economic and environmental, and spatial. A taxonomic method was used that allows the territorial units analyzed to be organized in a hierarchical manner. The levels of their development in particular dimensions were determined, taking into account the level of development as well as the structure of the features that describe them while identifying these features allows their distance from the ideal to be determined. The research was carried out across time analyzing four selected years: 2002, 2007, 2015, 2019. The local governments studied may be at different levels of development but may in fact have similar features or vice versa. Each of the cities examined is characterized by a large differentiation of the features describing them and a great similarity in terms of the levels of development achieved.
