Its high dynamics in recent years tends to reflect on the transformation of administrative division of the state. Especially noteworthy in this regard is metropolitan areas status. As a result of metropolisation and suburbanisation, their role in the settlement system of Poland rises, but is not reflected their position in the system of territorial management and planning. For many years, under discussion is an empowerment of the metropolitan areas, which are integrated themselves through cooperation of local government and external suport measures, such as Integrated Territorial Investments.
