Michał Bil , Wojciech Dziemianowicz

Abstract

In the article the authors analyze the records of strategic documents and the results of conducted
evaluation studies concerning cities in Podkarpackie Voivodeship, with a particular emphasis on
centers considered to be the province’s growth poles. Their present situation and development perspectives
are referred to the concept of four competitiveness forces (internal resources, external demand, domination,
networks). The studies on which the essence of the article is based, present the situation comprehensively –
both in static and dynamic terms, taking into account future trends. The capital city of the region – Rzeszów
(with the metropolitan area) has a special place in the study, as it is the only city to be given a separate priority
in the current development strategy. In the case of the other growth poles, the authors also try to capture
some of their specificities.
