Integrate to compete: Gdańsk–Gdynia metropolitan area
The aim of this article was to analyse the problems related to the processes of creation of metropolitan areas. The Polish case of Gdańsk–Gdynia metropolitan area constitutes the basis for the discussion as its polycentric structure intensifies the problems that stem from integration and the restructuring of administrative power. The difficulties in the creation of new metropolitan entities are well illustrated by the lack of agreement on the name of a metropolitan area. Local and regional leaders’ different visions on metropolitan government deeply complicate political integration. The complexity of relations between metropolitan and the rural areas creates additional challenges for achieving a cohesive regional policy.
