Functional urban areas – planning challenges

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses selected binding legal acts, national planning documents (Concept of the National Spatial Planning 2030) and programme documents (Partnership Agreement), selected financial instruments (Integrated Territorial Investments), and assumptions of the National Urban Policy. The conducted study permitted drawing conclusions regarding the opportunities and threats involved in the implementation of the analysed documents in the context of planning of sustainable development of functional urban areas (FUA). The analysis documented many inconsistencies in the binding provisions and guidelines in the scope of determination of the rules of functional planning in FUA. This results in the failure to adjust the binding documents at the provincial level to ministry guidelines (this particularly concerns the delimitations of FUA), and introduces the dual character of strategic documents (Strategy of Development of FUA and Strategy of Integrated Territorial Investments). The possibility to finance public investments in FUA in the scope of Integrated Territorial Investments brings positive results in terms of strategic planning.
