Ten cities will be added to the map of Poland on 1st January 2021. This will happen in accordance with the regulation of the Council of Ministers which establishes new boundaries of certain municipalities and grants localities the status of cities, reports the Association of Polish Cities (Miasta.pl).
The change will bring the total number of Polish cities to 954.
Based on this year’s decision of the Polish Government, in the wake of the New Year, the following 10 towns will become cities:
Such administrative changes are taken into consideration every year in Poland, reminds the Association. In order to obtain a city status, a town must have an urban architectural layout, the majority of its residents should earn their living from non-agricultural activities and the settlement must have at least 2,000 inhabitants. Another administrative change that will take place at the start of 2021 is the modification of the name of Jelenia Góra poviat to Karkonosze poviat.
Obtaining city status is very important as it gives prestige and opportunities for development. Preceded by social consultations with the inhabitants and then reviewed by the Commune Council, first it brings a change in image, but also is associated with tangible benefits, such as boosting investment attractiveness or the possibility of applying for funds related to the development of urban areas.
