Summary/Abstract: The subject of the present paper is the competitiveness of cities of eastern Poland that compete in acquisition of foreign investments. The development of processing occurring in these cities is characterized by changeability. Factors that influence competitiveness of destinations should be measured together with the intensity of their action. The competitiveness of the cities is accomplished by the pace of economic development, access to qualified workforce, office spaces, rental prices, support of local government or presence of natural resources. The aim of the paper is to present the macroeconomic data of two cities: Lublin and Rzeszów, and to present actions that their local governments undertake to improve their competitiveness in acquiring foreign investments. For research, cities were chosen deliberately due to comparable levels of economic development and competition for foreign investment. Cities are located in Eastern Poland.
