Summary/Abstract: The issue of stimulating socio-economic development in an open market economy requires an increasingly complex and, at the same time, holistic approach to the increasingly complex planning and decision-making process. The sphere of public activities related to the development of modern democratic states is undergoing dynamic changes under the influence of complex global political, social, economic, and environmental changes. This results in hindered communication not only between scientists but also between practitioners and stakeholders of contemporary politics. This fact significantly delays the building of a consensus around the necessary institutional reforms, the development of modern planning concepts, and the creation of an appropriate regulatory system. A particularly important conceptual sphere for polish regional and spatial policy - requiring ordering and clarification of several concepts - is the sphere of integrated development planning.The lexicon is the first study available on the market aimed at partially organizing the terminology related to integrated development planning. It distinguishes over a hundred terms that raise certain interpretation doubts and proposes ways of understanding them referring to the latest research in the field of the theory of regional and local development. The formula of the lexicon assumes a synthetic presentation of individual terms, with the majority of issues being subject to further supplementation. The lexicon is aimed to help not only in the basic understanding of specific terms but also with the basic principles and challenges of contemporary development policy and planning pragmatics.The lexicon was developed by a multi-author and multidisciplinary team. It contains a broad description of terms and indicates the basic supplementary literature for the described term. It is a kind of compendium of knowledge necessary for planning practice and communication drawing on the experience of many disciplines, urban planning, architecture, regional studies, city economics, sociology, political science, and law.
