AbstractKatowice is at the heart of the Upper Silesian Industrial Region which is the primary source of key raw materials for the Polish economy and the centre of heavy industry. Hundreds of years of mining activity and industrial growth with no concern for human health or the environment have seriously disrupted the air, water, and soil of the city and the region. This article summarizes the status of natural resources and environmental risks in the region, examines interactions between environmental quality and economic development, and describes the institutional setting for environmental management, including initiatives for improvement. It draws on a lengthier and more detailed profile that was prepared as part of a rapid urban environmental assessment of the region by the UNDP/World Bank/UNCHS (Habitat) Urban Management and Environment Programme.
