Development of Areas and Public Purpose Investments in Suburban Territories

Abstract

Suburban areas are subjected to particularly strong investment pressure, thus facing the challenge arising from the need to impose new spatial order. Satisfying the residents' expectations by implementing necessary technical and social infrastructure becomes a priority. Therefore, public investments play an important role in suburban areas.The article discusses the role of public purpose goals and their achievement using a case study which encompassed the outskirts of Olsztyn and consisted of detailed analyses of two gminas (communes) adjacent to the city. The research covered the time period from 2006 to 2010. The relationship between the development of housing functions in a suburban area and the location of public purpose investments such as technical and social infrastructure has been documented. The execution of public purpose projects is a follow-up of the development strategies prepared for the gminas where public investments are shown as a stimulant of suburban development. It has been demonstrated that decisions permitting such investments to be carried out are issued in response to the needs of the local community and investors moving to suburban territories.Key words : public investment, development, priorities, investments, infrastructure, suburban areas.

Evaluation of Location Factors of Businesses by Local Authorities of Eastern Poland, with a Particular Emphasis on Spatial Policy

“…Efficient and effective local governments, initiating and supporting activities for the areas they represent, are a key to local development. Individual municipalities differ in their development potential, which is composed of such factors as human and social capital, quality of life, institutional and technological capital, as well as the ability to provide funds for economic and social projects (PARYSEK 1997;OKOŃ-HORODYŃSKA 2011;WOLNY et al 2014).…”

The Effectiveness of Master Plans: Case Studies of Biologically Active Areas in Suburban Zones

“…Rapid urbanization processes can be observed in many cities around the world [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Similarly, the dynamic development of Wrocław in Poland in recent decades has strongly affected the suburban zone, with it coming under the pressure of urban sprawl [9][10][11].…”

“…Propagation of urban forms of land development on surrounding rural areas (in suburban zone) is commonly called urban sprawl. Suburban zone is a subject to particularly strong investment pressure [WOLNY et al 2014], strongly driven by increasing accessibility of more remote locations [WOLNY 2016].…”
