National Strategic Reference Framework According to the NSRF urban dimension will be realised within 3 areas of activity: • Using the potential of the largest urban centres as a driver of regional development • Strengthening the relationship between metropolis and urbanised areas and surrounding areas • Promoting internal cohesion of urban areas, in order to reduce a high concentration of economic, environmental and social problems within major urban centres

  10. Urban issues within OP Urban issues within Polish Operational Programmes: • 16 Regional Operational Programmes • OP Infrastructure and Environment • OP Development of Eastern Poland ******************************************************** • OP URBACT II

  11. Regional Operational Programmes(1) • Urban dimension is implemented mainly through 16 Regional OP • Regions recognize economic renewal and revitalization of cities as an important stimulus for regional development processes. Hence the important role of cities in the programming of EU funds • The policy towards cities is differently placed depending on ROP • A vast majority of regions dedicatesrelevant priority axes to „urban” projects • Some regions want support cities or some of their functions but consider these activities as elements of ROP complementary priorities e.g. in such areas as economic infrastructure or local development

  12. ROP for Silesia Region Priorytety Cele szczegółowe RPO WSL

  13. Priority 6 of the ROP for Silesia Region: Improving of the competitiveness of the urban areas of the region

Housing Housing investments projects are supported at regional level (ROP) Expenditures must not exceed 3% of the total ERDF allocation for given OP Possible investments: Renovation of common parts of multifamily residential buildings Adaptation of existing buildings for social housing for those in need Regional Operational Programmes (3)

  23. URBACT II URBACT 2002-2006 • Polish cities participate in URBACT projects since May 2004 • 21 Polish cities have been actively involved in URBACT 2002-2006 URBACT II • Polish cities show great interest in participation in the URBACT II projects, this indicates a strong demand for the knowledge about the integrated urban development within the Polish cities • Currently the Polish partners participate in 19 out of 25 URBACT II projects (which makes the second place regarding the number of partners)

  24. Conclusions • Ministry for Regional Development will commission the Ex-ante evaluation of the urban dimension of the Polish OP • Urban dimension within the Polish OP is significant but not quite coordinated • In the new financial perspective one should consider the possibility to support functional areas as the metropolitan areas or cities with their surrounding – the coordination of support for these areas at the Community level may have considerable added value
