The conference, which took place on February 14th, started with a presentation by Rajmund Ryś on the work of the Department of Spatial Policy at the Ministry of Regional Development, which has taken over the oversite of urban planning and spatial development at the national level. Since January 2013, the remit for issues such as socio-economic development strategy, spatial policy, urban policy and European funds has been given to this new department. The next person to take the floor was Łukasz Madej, the president of the management board of ProDevelopment,who spoke on the impact of conurbation development on the property market.What were his conclusions? The greater Warsaw area is unquestionably the leader among Polish conurbations, with good development prospects for the next few years. However, the adoption of a supra-local approach to make it possible to use the transport infrastructure under construction will be needed for the proportion of projects to grow outside the capital.
