Strategie rozwoju samorządu w kontekście rozwoju zrównoważonego i zintegrowanego na przykładzie Górnośląsko-Zagłębiowskiej Metropolii
Local Government Development Strategies in the Context of Sustainable and Integrated Development on the example of the Metropolis GZM

Summary/Abstract: The principles of intra- and intergenerational justice, which are intended to ensure the development not only of the present but also of future generations, are the basis of the new development paradigm. Formulated in such an overall way, the new paradigm of development in various fields of science is explained, interpreted and realized. In the current academic literature, the new paradigm of development is embodied by the idea of sustainable development, which is equated with ecological development, integrated development, and others. Both sustainable and integrated thinking in the context of the new development paradigm is an important part of the development strategies of international organizations, states, and local governments at the regional level. The issue of sustainable and integrated development seems particularly relevant at the level of local governments which are responsible for the implementation of socially relevant tasks, while having at their disposal much more limited resources and legal instruments compared to the state. Spatial policy, which must combine the current needs of municipalities with securing the prospects of their development in the future, seems to be particularly important in this context. The aim of the article is to analyze and evaluate the implementation of the sustainable and integrated development policy at the level of local governments, based on the strategies of entities at various levels of local government, on the example of the Silesian Voivodeship and the Metropolis GZM.
