Summary/Abstract: Being systems, cities have an extensive item and subject structure. Therefore, the high ability to introduce changes in the area of cities is demonstrated by the implementation of activities involving extensive expenditure (material, financial, intangible). Projects, including business ones, are an example. The management of the city is shaped by the activity of both the public and private sectors. Joint activity enables the achievement of effects impossible to achieve solely by the activity of the public sector. On the other hand, private sector activities may not take place or be limited without public sector support. There is therefore the importance of dialogue between both sectors and research to develop instruments to support business projects by the public sector. Due to the research issues undertaken, the main objective of the study is to characterize projects, including business ones, and to identify a range of potential ways of supporting business projects (corresponding to their specificity) on the part of the public sector. Therefore, among the partial research goals are: – (sub-objective 1) identification of project characteristics, including business ones (i.e. in relation to their stages, types, as well as strategies and methods of financing implemented by investors during their implementation); – (sub-objective 2) listing the tools for supporting business projects by the public sector, including those common and recommended in Polish economic practice and implemented in other countries in order to develop domestic instruments, e.g. by implementing some of the foreign solutions. The branching of the main research goal into two partial research goals makes the research tasks more efficient and the continuity of the entire research argument. As part of the research carried out in the form of a bibliographic query, therefore, focused on several research areas (assuming the perspective of exploring the scope of the research), i.e. stages and types of projects, sources of financing business projects for real estate investment, alternative investment strategies in the context of business projects investment nature in real estate, and then forms of support for investors undertaking the implementation of business investment projects in real estate by adopting the user’s strategy, including classic tool divisions in Polish conditions, examples of proposals for complementary supporting instruments in Poland, as well as potential development directions regarding forms of support for on the basis of foreign experiences that can be implemented in Polish conditions). In this way, the adequacy of the research and the content of the thesis with regard to the adopted research issues is preserved. This, in turn, makes it possible to achieve the formulated research goals. On the basis of the conducted research, the author mainly states that the projects constitute a heterogeneous set and, consequently, an extensive research scope. Therefore, it is justified for the reliability of research to narrow down the scope of the research in favor of the selected type of projects.
