Summary/Abstract: Functional approach to the development of urban areas assuming a shift away from a view of problems and challenges only by the prism of administrative borders becomes more and more important. A new instrument – Integrated Territorial Investment (ITI) will be used in towns and in theirs functional areas in the perspective of EU programming (2014- -2020). In practice ITI has to contribute to the realization of integrated strategies of urban development and to play an important role in the development of towns and urban functional areas. Organizational, financial and functional ITI foundations meet on the one hand with enthusiastic acceptance by territorial self-government units, but on the other – with a lot of fear and unknown. Therefore coping with current and future challenges requires careful preparation and consequent realization of national and regional urban policy.
