Zewnątrzmiejska dostępność komunikacyjna w kontekście budowania atrakcyjności lokalizacyjnej metropolii w Polsce na przykładzie województwa małopolskiego

Abstract

This article's basic assumption, and starting point, is that there is a strong correlation between accessibility (the availability of transport) and territorial potential of an economy. Increased accessibility is one of most important goals for metropolis authorities, central government representatives and key EU officials alike. The article shows intentions of different levels of public administration representatives for how they would like to use communication infrastructure to speed up regional and local social-economy indicators. Accomplishing that goal is especially important for metropolises which seek to join global network of potential exchange. It is also important for governments because strongest cities are the mirrors of strength of national economy. Economic strength is important for regions as well as metropolitan areas and metropolitan centre officials because they would like to attract potential. The article reviews possibilities and solutions for building transport links to improve economic potential of most powerful cities in Poland.
