Summary/Abstract: The aim of the research was to evaluate the differences in the level of the socioeconomic potential of Polish voivodship cities. Also, an attempt was made to answer the question if there is a positive relationship between the level of this potential and the economic performance of the surveyed cities. It was assumed that socio-economic potential can be described in four dimensions: 1) development level of economic infrastructure, 2) development level of social infrastructure, 3) quality of human and social capital, and 4) economic development level. The obtained results indicate that voivodship cities are characterized by a significant variation of endogenous potential. However, one cannot observe a direct relationship between the level of the socio-economic potential and the economic development level of voivodship cities.
