Summary/Abstract: The implementation of infrastructural projects, funded from operational programs, is seen as an important factor in local development. The purpose of the article was to analyze the effects of ongoing changes in the municipalities adjacent to Krakow, influenced by the performance of their infrastructure projects. The funds have proven to be very important for investment decisions. Municipalities would not be able to achieve the expected benefits without the implementation of these infrastructure projects. However, there is not a strategic approach to the development of the entire suburban area of Krakow. Generated effects are rather the consequence of non-integrated treatment of municipalities of their development, rather than a deliberate and planned action.
