The Prime Minister of Poland at a press conference granted town status to 15 villages, Source: Chancellery of the Prime Minister of Poland
This brings their total number to 979
Per tradition, Poland updates its administrative maps every New Year. This year, thanks to the high urbanisation trends, the Central European country granted the town status to 15 more settlements. With this change, the total number of towns in Poland is 979, as of 1 January 2023.
Granting town rights to Polish villages happens when several factors are in place: a high level of urbanisation, including most inhabitants making a living from non-agricultural activities, good transport connections to other towns, etc. The planned change of rights is previously consulted with their citizens and the municipal and provincial authorities. Receiving town status is an acknowledgement of high levels of development, but also – a commitment to the future.
However, it is often a matter of restoration, rather than granting town rights, as Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki noted at the ceremony which took place at the end of December. "This was a very common practice of the tsarist regime - revenge for the participation or assistance of a town in the January Uprising [a rebellion against the Russian rule, that took place in 1863-4], he said as quoted by the Chancellery. He thus called it a restoration of historic justice.
Here is the list of the new Polish towns as of 1 January 2023:
Out of the 15 former villages, only 3 have never had town rights, according to the press release. These are Miękinia, Łopuszno and Piekoszów.
Receiving town rights is an opportunity for the localities to attract more serious investors and qualify for targeted financial programmes for development.
