Introduction<br />
The following report is an attempt to summarise a two-year long co-operation of First<br />
Division regions i.e. medium-sized regions, striving to encourage their competitiveness<br />
against stronger national “partners”, through adopting an appropriate strategy of<br />
development. The report is an element of a larger work of interregional character<br />
(Common Report) dealing with the execution of strategic development projects within<br />
the territory of <strong>Defris</strong> partner states. The form of a Partner report has been engaged<br />
in order to facilitate a proper depiction of final results of analytic and planning efforts,<br />
made within selected fields of interest, on a more detailed i.e. regional and local level.<br />
The report is inevitably fed with the information obtained during the execution of<br />
previous work packages. Both WP1 and WP2 reports provided the participants of the<br />
project with vital information on characteristics of particular regions dissecting their<br />
socio-economic background which conditions their further development. The<br />
information gathered in this way proved invaluable in the process of selecting future<br />
key projects.<br />
The <strong>Regional</strong> Authority of Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship put forward three strategic<br />
projects of development during the implementation process of WP3 (the total number<br />
of projects by <strong>Defris</strong> partners amounts to 15). The function of these projects within<br />
<strong>Defris</strong> is of dual character; they have the role of, so called, voivodship development<br />
zones (the growth poles), as well as, a supporting one e.g. activating the neighbouring<br />
or peripheral areas with a significant socio-economic potential.<br />
The selected projects are:<br />
1. Bydgoszcz-Toruń Metroplitan Area as the development zone<br />
2. The conception of the economic development of the Noteć River Valley<br />
3. Shaping the function of Włocławek as a regional centre<br />
The conclusions concerning the execution of strategic projects that are suggested in<br />
the report present in great detail the planning process, the adopted methodology and<br />
analyses of selected development aspects including, among others, the areas of<br />
transport, communications, services, entrepreneurship, tourism and social issues.<br />
Furthermore, in drive to achieve an improved international co-operation resulting in<br />
measurable effects, the subject areas were narrowed down to merely project<br />
activities. Thus, each one of the above-mentioned projects reflects one or two (in case<br />
of BTMA <strong>–</strong> Bydgoszcz Toruń Metropolitan Area) activities, raised also by those partners<br />
from other regions who remain interested in these issues. For more information on<br />
this subject refer to chapter “Transnationality”.<br />
The lay-out of the Partner report reflects the requirements imposed on all partners in<br />
the project. Its contents is supplemented with elaborations in the form of graphic<br />
attachments and information formulas which are the original form of information about<br />
the implemented strategic development projects.<br />

DESCRIPTION OF STRATEGIC<br />
PROJECTS<br />
5
Objectives and Assumptions of the Project<br />
Bydgoszcz-Torun Metropolitan Area is of primary importance for the shaping of the<br />
potential and development opportunities of the whole Kujawsko-Pomorskie<br />
Voivodship. Both capital cities of the region <strong>–</strong> Bydgoszcz and Toruń <strong>–</strong> as well as, the<br />
rural counties of Bydgoszcz and Torun are included in BTMA (altogether BTMA<br />
comprises as many as 19 communes). The dominating role of BTMA in proper<br />
functioning of the whole voivodship is marked by: its unchallenged role in catering for<br />
higher-level services associated with BTMA’s regional and supraregional functions<br />
largely being the key to the level of competitiveness and innovativeness of the whole<br />
region (university level education, science, culture, medical care, media, business<br />
environment); its being the communication hub for both regional and interregional<br />
communication routes (the region’s main communications junction concentrating all<br />
routes vital for appropriate functioning of the region and its contact with other<br />
regions); and finally, a remarkable demographic potential (despite BTMA taking up as<br />
little as approximately 16% of the region’s total area, over 36% of the population live<br />
there; the real ratio of population concentration is even higher due to the fact that the<br />
level of forestation largely exceeds the average figures).<br />
The primary objective of the analyses of the potential of BTMA is determination of the<br />
extent to which this area, vital for the functioning of the whole region, is capable of<br />
catering also for local needs connected with everyday life of the residents and with<br />
appropriate functioning of socio-economic systems, especially including:<br />
- the demographic description necessary for forecasting the scale of demographic<br />
development and future demographic structure;<br />
- description of the settlement system and servicing potential;<br />
- description of economy (entrepreneurship, agriculture, tourism);<br />
- description of the communications system both internal and external.<br />
It has been agreed in the assumptions to the project that the works will result in<br />
creation of text elaborations and detailed maps (1: 50 000 scale) to be used for The<br />
Plan of <strong>Development</strong> and Spatial Management of Bydgoszcz-Toruń Metropolitan Area<br />
as the study stage of the conducted analyses. The potential target group of these<br />
analyses should also be county and commune self-governments with public service<br />
and transport tasks remaining within their remit.<br />
7
Methodology<br />
The project is a study devoted to a wide range of issues associated with the evaluation<br />
of various preconditions influencing the following areas:<br />
a) the optimal socio-economic development;<br />
b) encouraging competitiveness and attractiveness of BTMA against other Polish<br />
metropolises.<br />
The complexity and exceptionally vast scope of issues covered by such a generallystated<br />
subject matter resulted in 2 detailed issues coming into focus, which was<br />
decided on the early stages of works. These issues were then analysed and discussed<br />
internationally:<br />
1. preconditions for the socio-economical development (within the Activity<br />
„Determinants of services and business development”);<br />
2. preconditions for the transport system development regarded both as an internal<br />
system functioning within BTMA, and as a system with interregional connections<br />
(within the Activity „Transport systems in BTMA - abilities and problems”).<br />
Both issues were considered as 2 separate types of Activities within the project.<br />
The work schedule in case of both Activities included:<br />
1. Gathering all necessary input information for the project (these included:<br />
statistical data, regional elaborations prepared to the point, data and<br />
information gathered from communes included in BTMA, data and information<br />
received from the administrators of communications networks and transport<br />
services providers, external experts’ opinions commissioned concerning<br />
transport).<br />
2. The analysis of the above-mentioned data.<br />
3. Consultations of activities being carried out <strong>–</strong> including both consultations with<br />
partners during seminars (TNS) and work group meetings (WGM) within <strong>Defris</strong>,<br />
as well as consultations with regional authorities.<br />
4. Preparing the results of the analyses <strong>–</strong> in the form of thematic booklets and<br />
synthetic maps scale 1:50 000 (for a detailed list of books prepared see the<br />
attachment hereto).<br />
The analyses being a part of the project were in their entirety customised to suit the<br />
requirements of The Plan of <strong>Development</strong> and Spatial Management of Bydgoszcz-<br />
Toruń Metropolitan Area being drafted as an updating document to this Plan. The<br />
analyses were of crucial importance for the larger-scale diagnosis of the preconditions<br />
of socio-economic and transport issues. The final stage of the elaboration of the “Plan”<br />
concerning the determination of the conceptions, objectives, directions and rules of<br />
the development of BTMA (due to discrepancies in schedules between the <strong>Defris</strong><br />
project and BTMA Plan and due to the need of considering a much larger spectrum of<br />
issues) is not prepared within the Derfis project.<br />
One must not disregard the fact that an important added value of the activities<br />
performed for the development Plan of BTMA within an international project, is the<br />
possibility of exploiting (both on the stage of diagnosing the status quo, as well as<br />
determining the directions) the knowledge and experience previously gained<br />
elsewhere.<br />
The pattern underlying the adopted methodology and work schedule is presented in<br />
the drawing.<br />

The Results of Analyses within the Activity „Determinants<br />
of services and business development”<br />
The scope of activities<br />
The analyses which were carried out have resulted in 9 thematic booklets devoted to:<br />
the description of the settlement network, providing services to local residents,<br />
demographic issues, entrepreneurship, tourism, agriculture, spatial management,<br />
cultural heritage, the position of BTMA against other Polish MA’s. Some of the issues<br />
analysed are accompanied with branch thematic maps, scale 1:50 000.<br />
Yet another result of the analyses is a synthetic map concerning socio-economic issues<br />
(1:50 000).<br />
The above-mentioned materials were utilised in their entirety for the creation of the<br />
study phase (diagnosis of preconditions) of the Plan of <strong>Development</strong> and Spatial<br />
Management of Bydgoszcz-Toruń Metropolitan Area.<br />
Considering the most vital issues (those having a crucial impact on further<br />
development of BTMA) the following <strong>–</strong> most important <strong>–</strong> preconditions were identified:<br />
The Results: demographic preconditions<br />
As far as demographics is concerned, the suburban areas of Bydgoszcz and Toruń are<br />
classic examples of highly-urbanised areas, and the cities of Bydgoszcz and Toruń<br />
themselves undergo a typical-of-large-cities processes of ageing of the population.<br />
The population of Bydgoszcz and Toruń is slowly yet consistently decreasing. The<br />
number of inhabitants at the post-productive age is larger, while the number of<br />
inhabitants at the pre-productive age against the total number of inhabitants is<br />
dramatically lower (a decrease of 16% within a 4-year span).<br />

The suburban areas are rather attractive migration destinations for a great number of<br />
people including those living in Bydgoszcz and Toruń up do date. As a result the<br />
population in many communes within the period of 4 years increased by more than<br />
10%, and in two communes <strong>–</strong> by more than 20%. Another point worth mentioning is<br />
the fact that in other rural areas of the voivodship, the population is stagnant or<br />
decreasing. Thus, it is evident that the BTMA area stands out from the remaining<br />
territory in the matter of the character and intensity of migration processes. The<br />
people flowing into the suburban communes are predominantly well educated, of<br />
better-than-average financial status and socially active.<br />

Suburban areas are not of homogeneous nature <strong>–</strong> some of them have had suburban<br />
functions for tens of years and, as a result, they are highly urbanised and display all<br />
social and economic features of such kind of areas. There is a group of communes,<br />
however, that due to their favourable agricultural features and/or their less convenient<br />
transport connection with Bydgoszcz or Toruń have not been subjected to strong<br />
influence of the cities, therefore displaying fewer characteristics of typical suburban<br />
areas nowadays.<br />
The population of the communes which are strongly urbanised is characterised by<br />
favourable <strong>–</strong> young <strong>–</strong> age structure, favourable <strong>–</strong> pro-developmental <strong>–</strong> sex structure,<br />
and, as opposed to the remaining rural areas, a high percentage of inhabitants<br />
employed outside agricultural sector (especially those who run their own business),<br />
and finally, a much more favourable structure of education.<br />
One must notice that a long term demographic forecast for BTMA assumes a<br />
remarkable decrease in the number of inhabitants <strong>–</strong> as much as 10% until 2030,<br />
however, the predicted internal “shifts” of population are of much bigger importance <strong>–</strong><br />
the population of Bydgoszcz and Toruń will plummet by approximately 20% (in 2030<br />
the population of Bydgoszcz will stand at 290 thousand people, and that of Toruń will<br />
amount to 171 thousand), whereas the population of suburban areas will increase by<br />
more than 20% (the increase is bound to be much higher in case of some selected<br />
communes).<br />
The Results: the analysis of the settlement system and services<br />
The communes included in BTMA are generally characterised by an uneven number of<br />
villages. It is a result of both varied sizes of the communes and of varied natural<br />
conditions (especially the level of forestation or amount of soil suitable for agricultural<br />
purposes). The number of villages in communes is between 10 and 54. The indicators<br />
describing the average size of villages in suburban areas are decidedly higher than the<br />
average for the whole voivodship <strong>–</strong> the average size of a village in the analysed area is<br />
330 inhabitants (the mean value for the voivodship without the counties of Bydgoszcz<br />
and Toruń stands at 207). A number of communes in BTMA exceeds the value of 380,<br />
and the communes of Białe Błota and Lubicz <strong>–</strong> over 800.<br />
The figures expressing the density of the settlement system stand between 5 and<br />
25/100 km 2 (the average of 16, most communes reach the value of 10 <strong>–</strong> 20), yet, in<br />
reference to forestless areas the values are considerable higher (the average of 25,<br />
the maximum of above 60/100km 2 ). Highly forested communes are characterised by a<br />
big number of small settlements (hamlets, forestries), with number of inhabitants<br />
frequently does not exceed 10.<br />
11
The distinctive feature of suburban areas is the presence of numerous villages with a<br />
very high number of inhabitants. The origins of the process of a rapid growth of these<br />
villages are to be sought in their night-dwelling character (mass commuting to work in<br />
Bydgoszcz and Toruń), which was very much true up to the 80’s of the last century. A<br />
large share of those villages suffered from an underdeveloped trade and service<br />
facilities, as these were Bydgoszcz and Toruń that catered for these needs. The realm<br />
of material services and craftsmanship was on relatively low level as well. It was not<br />
until the 90’s when the large suburban villages experienced a rapid wide-scale<br />
development of trade, material services, craftsmanship, and they even had large retail<br />
outlets, wholesale outlets or manufacturing plants built and located within their limits.<br />
The mid-nineties saw an increase in popularity of housing construction (including high<br />
standard one <strong>–</strong> mansion-like). The increase in the population of these villages, apart<br />
from the in-flow of new residents, was a result of a halt to (and subsequently the<br />
reversal of the trend) the city-bound migration, which took place in the 80’s and 90’s.<br />
Nowadays, the largest villages of the analysed area as far as the number of<br />
inhabitants is concerned, outscore the smallest towns in the region( e.g. the village of<br />
Białe Błota has a larger population than 20 towns in the voivodship; its population is<br />
almost the same as the population of the smallest town being a county seat). As many<br />
as 19 villages have the population between 1000 and 2000, 8 villages between 2000<br />
and 3500, and the largest one has 5.7 thousand inhabitants.<br />
Currently, the character of the largest villages is varied. Some of them are welldeveloped<br />
seats of communes <strong>–</strong> with a high potential of institutions servicing their<br />
residents and agriculture, with basic business servicing institutions, at the same time<br />
being a place of work for many people (high level of entrepreneurship) and having<br />
favourable spatial potential and general level of attractiveness for the development of<br />
housing construction. Some of the largest villages are dwelling places as well as<br />
production-storing-craftsmanship ones, but they are not major residents servicing<br />
centres. Another category of villages are those, whose large population is down to<br />
their residential character (high standard housing) as the predominant function. A<br />
relatively small proportion of villages are those situated in the areas characterised by<br />
favourable preconditions for agricultural development, representing a typical rural <strong>–</strong><br />
not urbanised character with typically agricultural function.<br />
The size structure of the settlement system is an important precondition for the<br />
development of communes <strong>–</strong> including especially the share of inhabitants dwelling in<br />
the largest villages (it is connected with the problem of providing services within<br />
technical and social infrastructure, this being remarkably easier and cheaper if the<br />
inhabitants of big villages make up a big proportion of the total number of residents).<br />
As much as more than 1/3 of the total number of rural residents live in villages with<br />
the population exceeding 1000 (despite the fact that these villages make up merely<br />
8% of the total number of settlements), and as little as 10% of the total number of<br />
rural inhabitants live in villages with the population of up to 200 (such villages make<br />
up more than 44% of the total number of settlements).<br />
A substantial number of suburban villages are characterised by a rapid increase in the<br />
population. They make an attractive location for settling down, and the increase is<br />
largely attributed to the appearance of new housing constructions <strong>–</strong> frequently of<br />
residential character. Out of over 80 villages whose population in 2006 exceeded 500,<br />
only 12 observed a decrease in the number of inhabitants in the period 2000-06<br />
(several of them observed a minute decrease), and 36 experienced a growth in the<br />
population of more than 10% (21 of which had an increase of more than 20%). As<br />
12
many as 11 villages observed an increase in the population of 40% - the maximum<br />
increase was doubling of the population within the 6-year period.<br />
If we express the values in numbers, we can observe than 21 villages experienced an<br />
increase in the population of more than 200 persons, 7 of which of more than 500,<br />
with the maximum figure standing at more than 900 persons.<br />
We can observe a clearly-cut hierarchy in the settlement system of BTMA in the field<br />
of service provision:<br />
- Bydgoszcz and Toruń <strong>–</strong> the serve the functions of their region’s seats with<br />
numerous supraregional functions,<br />
- The seats of communes are meant to be servicing the residents of communes <strong>–</strong><br />
the town commune seats display better facilities as far as the number and<br />
character of the services provided are concerned; the rural commune seats are<br />
in a less favourable situation in this respect. These centres are bound to have<br />
developed a wide array of market services (especially trade and repairs),<br />
primary and lower-secondary education (also upper-secondary one in towns),<br />
healthcare, agriculture-directed services, basic financial services,<br />
administration with related institutions and public utility services,<br />
- Centres of supplementary character to rural commune seats (27 such villages<br />
have been identified) <strong>–</strong> large villages with highly-developed services sector <strong>–</strong><br />
they have an important role especially in large communes, where the distance<br />
to the commune seat is significant,<br />
- Other places <strong>–</strong> the remaining 320 villages and hamlets have been included into<br />
this category. Most of them do not possess any services, or they offer services<br />
catering only for the needs of local residents (they have no impact on the<br />
neighbouring villages).<br />
A specific character of particular public services must be mentioned. Primary schools<br />
are among the most common services and they are present in as many as 69 villages<br />
and towns; lower-secondary schools are significantly less numerous <strong>–</strong> they are to be<br />
found in 35 villages and towns. Community centres also make a frequent category<br />
(present in 96 villages), as well as libraries (in 47). Healthcare units (GP’s) along with<br />
their affiliates are present in 38 villages and towns (in more than 2 places in a<br />
commune on average).<br />
Despite negative changes in recent years (closing down some units) post offices are<br />
still relatively accessible. There are 37 post offices including agent’s units and<br />
affiliates.<br />
Less frequent services, present only in larger villages and towns, include:<br />
- upper-secondary education (present in only 6 places including 3 towns and 3<br />
villages),<br />
- nursery schools (17 villages and towns),<br />
- culture centres (14 towns and villages),<br />
- police stations (15 towns and villages),<br />
- banks (20 towns and villages).<br />
Welfare centres offer services of a specialised character (9 towns and villages). The<br />
distribution of fire brigade stations (not related to the hierarchy of the settlement<br />
system) is of a completely different character. There are as many as 72 fire stations<br />
(almost exclusively they are volunteer brigades).<br />
There are significant discrepancies in the level of execution of so called “own tasks” by<br />
commune authorities, which especially evident in the number of culture units<br />
supported by them. Moreover, one should notice that the residents of the suburban<br />
13
areas enjoy easy access to a wide range of services owing to the vicinity of Bydgoszcz<br />
and Toruń which have a very well developed social infrastructure.<br />
The Results: economic analyses (entrepreneurship, agriculture,<br />
tourism)<br />
BTMA is the most prominent area in the voivodship as far as the issue of the level of<br />
development and importance of the economy is concerned. Both Bydgoszcz and Toruń<br />
are specialised industrial centres on a nationwide scale. Numerous plants seated in<br />
these cities are among the biggest and most important in the country <strong>–</strong> a lot of them<br />
are owned by large international co-operations and operate globally. The most<br />
important branches of industry present in both cities include: electrical machinery<br />
industry (including the production of means of transport), food and chemical<br />
industries. A relatively new, yet very dynamic branch is printing.<br />
In the suburban areas, small carpentry workshops and small manufacturing plants are<br />
dominant forms. The operate mostly in the following branches: food, metal<br />
processing, machine, chemical, construction, carpentry, transport and horticulture<br />
(vegetable growing, flower growing and a variety of seedlings production). The<br />
suburban zone has been popular with warehouse and storing business activity for<br />
several years. It is now also a popular location for large-area outlets. The newest<br />
business activities undergoing a rapid development in suburban zones is high-tech<br />
branch <strong>–</strong> an industrial park has been in operation for a few years now, and currently a<br />
large Japanese-owned electronics manufacturing complex is being constructed.<br />
The total number of business entities seated in Bydgoszcz exceeds 45 thousand, and<br />
in Toruń the figure approximates 26 thousand. The suburban zones of both cities host<br />
almost 14 thousands companies.<br />
Among the indicators describing the level and character of business operation in the<br />
counties of Bydgoszcz and Toruń the most outstanding ones include:<br />
- for general indicators <strong>–</strong> the number of business entities against the number of<br />
inhabitants is remarkably high <strong>–</strong> several communes within BTMA are among<br />
those characterised by the highest index of entrepreneurship (6 out 8<br />
communes with the highest entrepreneurship index are included in BTMA) <strong>–</strong> in<br />
the most successful communes the index of companies per 1000 persons at the<br />
productive age exceeds 200, with the rural average for the whole voivodship<br />
standing at 92,<br />
- several types of business activities connected with the large cities’ markets:<br />
manufacturing, storing, trade, transport, real estate and business servicing,<br />
- high interest from the foreign investment capital,<br />
- business activities requiring easy access to highly-qualified personnel.<br />
BTMA is characterised by varied agricultural conditions and uneven development of<br />
this sector. A number of communes have very unfavourable soil conditions, whereas<br />
in others the conditions are good or very good (high-volume production in on the<br />
increase, largely crops, in relatively modern, large farms). Some of the communes in<br />
BTMA (especially the communes of Koronowo and Chełmża) are among the biggest<br />
food producers in the region.<br />
BTMA’s big horticultural production (fruit, vegetables) is a vital characteristics of this<br />
region and generally, production for the city market is very well developed. The local<br />
14
production and processing of fruit, vegetables, milk, meat etc. represents quite a high<br />
level and the processing plants are numerous.<br />
The preconditions for tourism are of special character <strong>–</strong> both Bydgoszcz and Toruń are<br />
the major centres of the business and other activities related to organising a variety of<br />
social, sport or cultural events. The cities host traditional, widely-renowned<br />
international music, opera or theatre festivals. Bydgoszcz is the most important centre<br />
for athletics meetings in Poland, but it is also famous for other international sport<br />
events, particularly in speedway, rowing or volleyball. Toruń is the region’s most<br />
important, and one of the most prominent in Poland, tourist centre (it is reflected in<br />
the city’s dominant position in catering for foreign tourists). Bydgoszcz is an important<br />
centre for trade fairs.<br />
The suburban areas of Bydgoszcz (the commune of Koronowo, in particular) are<br />
among those most attractive for stay-in leisure in the region (it is associated largely<br />
with the natural features <strong>–</strong> including a large lake). There are more than 25 thousand<br />
weekend-holiday houses in BTMA.<br />
Accommodation conditions, as far as the number of beds available is concerned, in<br />
Bydgoszcz and Toruń is comparable, with the figure standing at approximately 1.8<br />
thousand in each city. In the county of Bydgoszcz the figure exceeds 2.5 thousand,<br />
and in the county of Toruń <strong>–</strong> 0.5 thousand. The number of tourist staying in Bydgoszcz<br />
over the night is approximately 95 thousand a year, in Toruń <strong>–</strong> almost 140 thousand,<br />
in the suburban areas <strong>–</strong> the combined figure for both cities areas exceeds 67<br />
thousand. The number of beds occupied at night <strong>–</strong> almost 540 thousand a year (in<br />
2004).<br />
The Results of Analyses for the Activity “Transport systems<br />
in BTMA - abilities and problems”<br />
Road infrastructure<br />
Bydgoszcz-Toruń Metropolitan Area is situated on the route and in the vicinity of<br />
European systems:<br />
- The Paneuropean Transport Corridor No. VI, established during a meeting of<br />
the European Conference of Transport Ministers in Helsinki in 1997, as the<br />
North-South transport axis on the territory of Poland, and<br />
- TINA system regarded by the European Commission as the basic national<br />
transport system (apart from the routes of the corridors, no. 10 national road<br />
was also marked).<br />
These establishments are treated by the European Commission as a temporary<br />
counterpart of the TEN-T system, which was confirmed in the Accession Treaty, where<br />
the shape of the TEN-T system in the new member states was determined by adapting<br />
the existing systems<strong>–</strong> the paneuropean one and TINA.<br />
The earlier-mentioned transport corridors include: the motorway A1 and DK 1, as well<br />
as DK 1 5 and 10, the future express roads labelled with the same numbers.<br />
The motorway A1 (Gdańsk <strong>–</strong> Świecie <strong>–</strong> Toruń <strong>–</strong> Łódź <strong>–</strong> Katowice <strong>–</strong> Cieszyn <strong>–</strong> the<br />
boarder) is situated on the route of the international road E-75. Trespassing the<br />
eastern end of the area, in the direct vicinity of Toruń, it will connect the BTMA with<br />
the motorway system ensuring its coherence with other regions in Poland and with<br />
other EU members. In particular it will provide access to ports in Gdańsk and Gdynia,<br />
as well as to central and southern voivodships.<br />
1 DK (Polish „droga krajowa”) means „national road”<br />
15
No. 5 national road (S-5) (Świecie <strong>–</strong> Poznań <strong>–</strong> Wrocław <strong>–</strong>the boarder) is at the same<br />
time the international road labelled E-261. Like A1 it also provides direct connection<br />
with the ports and the voivodships situated in western Poland (Dolnośląskie<br />
Voivodship and Wielkopolskie Voivodship).<br />
No. 10 national road (S-10) connects Warsaw (Płońsk) with Szczecin. In its part from<br />
Płońsk to Toruń it runs within the TEN-T corridor determined in the Accession Treaty<br />
(classifying the road as a part of TEN-T system confirms the importance of the road<br />
for the EU cohesion). The part of the road which is labelled DK 10 between Bydgoszcz<br />
and Toruń is a key one for BTMA because of the assumed class of the road and its<br />
location linking two major centres <strong>–</strong> Bydgoszcz and Toruń.<br />
Other national roads are:<br />
- DK 15 Gniezno <strong>–</strong> Olsztyn <strong>–</strong> this is a supplementary connection of Wielkopolska<br />
with Warmia and Mazury, with high tourist-based traffic, the assumed class of<br />
the road is GP, it crosses Toruń,<br />
- DK 25 Oleśnica <strong>–</strong> Koszalin of the same class and importance, it runs through<br />
Bydgoszcz,<br />
- DK 80 Bydgoszcz <strong>–</strong>Toruń <strong>–</strong> the character of this road is strictly regional, it links<br />
to centres of the Metropolitan Area, the assumed class <strong>–</strong> GP a dual-carriage<br />
way.<br />
The system described above is administered by the state bodies and is supplemented<br />
by roads remaining under the local self-governments’ administration (of the following<br />
ranks: voivodship, county, commune).<br />
Railway infrastructure<br />
The major railway routes have a well-established localisation crossing the stations<br />
Bydgoszcz-Toruń and no changes are foreseen in this respect.<br />
The railway system includes the lines of national importance:<br />
Line no. 131 double-track railway, electrified, Chorzów Batory <strong>–</strong> Inowrocław <strong>–</strong> Tczew <strong>–</strong><br />
Gdańsk (so called coal railway line),<br />
The line is included in the system of railways AGTC as CE 65 (the European agreement<br />
on combined railway transport in freight transfer).<br />
Line no. 201, double-track railway, electrified, Nowa Wieś Wielka <strong>–</strong> Maksymilianowo, it<br />
is a freight “ring road” of Bydgoszcz for the 131 line;<br />
Line 18, double track, electrified, Kutno - Toruń <strong>–</strong> Bydgoszcz <strong>–</strong> Piła, it has a crucial<br />
importance for BTMA as it links Bydgoszcz and Toruń;<br />
Line no. 353 double-track, electrified, Poznań <strong>–</strong> Inowrocław <strong>–</strong> Toruń <strong>–</strong> Skandawa;<br />
Line no. 209 single-track, not electrified, East Bydgoszcz <strong>–</strong> Unisław <strong>–</strong> Chełmża,<br />
Kowalewo Pomorskie <strong>–</strong> the service is suspended<br />
Line no. 207 single-track, not electrified, Toruń <strong>–</strong> Chełmża - Grudziądz <strong>–</strong> Malbork.<br />
Other lines:<br />
Line no. 356 single-track, not electrified, Bydgoszcz <strong>–</strong> Kcynia <strong>–</strong> Wągrowiec <strong>–</strong> Poznań;<br />
Line no. 27 single-track, not electrified, Toruń <strong>–</strong> Nasielsk.<br />
The railway system encircles major cities going through their peripheries, generally<br />
out of strictly residential areas.<br />
Air transport<br />
There are two airports on the analysed area of BTMA: the international airport in<br />
Bydgoszcz and the sports-recreational airport in Toruń. The Bydgoszcz airport is<br />
16
conveniently linked with the national roads DK 5, DK 10 and DK 25, and it has its own<br />
railway siding.<br />
Ignacy Jan Paderewski Airport in Bydgoszcz was created on the basis of a military<br />
airport using its runways. It is a regional port with a modern terminal offering the<br />
whole range of services in both domestic and international transit. The runway is<br />
2500m long and 60m wide and it can take most types of aircraft. The airport is<br />
additionally equipped with a modern, computerised aircraft balancing system and<br />
contact system, as well as electronic passenger and luggage monitoring system. The<br />
terminal is a three-storey building of the area exceeding 7 000 m 2 and with the<br />
capacity of dealing with more than 200 000 passengers a year. At present, there are<br />
about 30 000 passengers and 3000 tonnes of cargo dealt with per year. Reaching the<br />
maximum capacity of the terminal is predicted for 2015.<br />
The airfield in Toruń has runways of 1200 m in length and 55 m in width. It does not<br />
possess a terminal or regular domestic or international connections.<br />
Water transport<br />
The analysed area is crossed by water routes the Noteć <strong>–</strong> the Bydgoszcz Channel <strong>–</strong> the<br />
Vistula River. There are river ports in Bydgoszcz and Toruń which are virtually notused<br />
at the moment.<br />
Recent years have seen a revival of tourism on the water routs, especially on the<br />
Bydgoszcz Channel. A water tram has been created in Bydgoszcz. Apart from the<br />
winter time, the ship is shuttle on the Brda River connecting the Fish Market and<br />
Tesco hypermarket, with one service a day being extended up to the Higher Economic<br />
School. It takes several minutes for the tram to cover the whole way. This means of<br />
transport is a highly seasonal one in its nature, and it must be regarded more in terms<br />
of a tourist attraction than a vital way of catering for the residents’ transport needs.<br />
Conclusions<br />
The analyses carried out within both Activities result in a few general conclusions:<br />
1. BTMA is different from the rest of the voivodship in respect of most areas being<br />
analysed.<br />
2. BTMA is characterised by a strong internal variation in many analysed areas.<br />
3. Bydgoszcz and Toruń are regional centres focusing an overwhelming majority of<br />
social and economic potential.<br />
4. Bydgoszcz and Toruń are two major communication hubs for both intra- and<br />
interregional transport <strong>–</strong> the concentrate most roads and railway lines of<br />
interregional importance, they are the meeting point for the few existing water<br />
ways, Bydgoszcz possesses an airport, both cities are also the junctions of<br />
interregional connections.<br />
The analysis of the existing preconditions unveils the following problem areas for<br />
transport and communications:<br />
- lack of motorway and express roads system (A-1, S-5, S-10) as a developmentboosting<br />
factor in BTMA at present,<br />
- lack of final decisions concerning the location of the S-5 road in the vicinity of<br />
Bydgoszcz,<br />
- no binding decisions concerning the main communication connection in N-S<br />
direction in Toruń,<br />
- the role of the national road no.80 as the main transport connection in BTMA <strong>–</strong><br />
problems with routing, servicing the adjacent areas, protection against the<br />
building process,<br />
17
- the industrial park in Łysomice <strong>–</strong> a new element of spatial planning <strong>–</strong> problems<br />
with communications with the planned motorway, with Toruń and with<br />
Bydgoszcz,<br />
- lack of activities related to modernisation of railways, line no.18 in particular<br />
which is a major rout for inter-BTMA communication,<br />
- it is necessary to establish the connection between the airport in Bydgoszcz and<br />
the remaining transport systems (railways, roads), no cargo terminal.<br />
All the areas mentioned above require taking action in drive to solve the existing<br />
problems.<br />
5. The analyses provided a vast range of data necessary for implementing the next<br />
phase of the elaboration (planning).<br />
A multi-aspect analysis of socio-economic preconditions for the development and<br />
potential related to transport services on both intraregional and interregional scale<br />
confirm that BTMA may well be a driving force for the region’s development in the<br />
years to come. Moreover, the importance of this region for the whole voivodship will<br />
be increasing.<br />

Aims and Assumptions of the Project<br />
Włocławek with its population of more than 120 thousand is included in the Strategy<br />
and in the spatial development plan for Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship as a regional<br />
sustainable development centre supportive for the Bydgoszcz-Toruń metropolitan<br />
area. The function derives from both demographic and economic potential of the town.<br />
Włocławek is an important industrial and service centre, a seat of numerous business<br />
and economy-related institutions, as well as, a centre of higher education.<br />
The town has a clearly-developed functional area covering the neighbouring<br />
communes counties. In view of the stipulations of the above-mentioned documents,<br />
and the on-going socio-economic processes, the further development of the town as a<br />
regional centre is crucial from the point of view of regional policy.<br />
The basic objective of the project is to determine the directions of development of<br />
those functions of the city which have supra-local importance, thus being beneficial<br />
also for the residents of the functional area. Additional aims are of educational and<br />
practical nature. The first one not only allows to enrich the knowledge about the town<br />
and its surroundings, but it will also enable its promotion. The other aim is connected<br />
with practical use of the knowledge and conclusions from the project for the sake of<br />
making particular administrative and economic decisions by the local selfgovernments.<br />
Methodology<br />
The elaboration comprises three parts. The first one covers the analysis of<br />
preconditions of the functioning of the city and its surroundings against the whole<br />
region and the analysis of connections with the rest of the country in the field of<br />
communications, nature and economy. The second part is the evaluation of the city’s<br />
potential and its impact on the surrounding area, as well as of its competitiveness<br />
against other urban centres situated in the radius of approximately 60 km. The<br />
analyses conducted in this area covered the major functions and services. Businessrelated<br />
services, healthcare and education were particularly in the focal point of the<br />
27
analyses. The third part of the project deals with the directions of development of the<br />
town within the functions which are perceived as being socially demanded and, at the<br />
same time, cost-effective.<br />
The available statistical data concerning the social and economic issues in the town<br />
and the region was utilised in course of works on the project. In order to supplement<br />
some data and to gather the evaluation and opinions of the local society of the<br />
functional region a questionnaire survey was carried out. A specially-prepared<br />
questionnaire was distributed among 41 commune self-governments. As many as 28<br />
self-government managed to return the questionnaire with answers. The information<br />
received in this way made it possible to evaluate the scope of bonds between<br />
Włocławek and its vicinity, and to determine the importance of the city for the<br />
residents of adjacent communes for satisfying their needs for services in a range of<br />
fields. The analysis of the information retrieved from the questionnaires facilitated also<br />
the evaluation of the level of competitiveness of Włocławek in comparison with other<br />
centres, and determination of the expectations of residents of the functional region as<br />
far as the development of various services is concerned.<br />
One of the methods utilised during the process of gathering the information necessary<br />
for determining the directions of development of supra-local functions of the city were<br />
meetings with the representatives of the local authorities of towns and communes<br />
included in the functional region.<br />
Moreover, a number discussions, symposiums and conferences attended by<br />
representatives of various business and social organisations, as well as the academic<br />
environment of Włocławek were held. The co-operation with the local authorities of<br />
Włocławek was of special importance. The local self-government of Włocławek was<br />
simultaneously working on the strategy of development of the city, and started to<br />
elaborate the study of preconditions and directions for spatial management<br />
development.<br />
The Results<br />
Delimitation of the Functional Area of the City and the<br />
Scope of Internal Connections<br />
The basis for carrying out any analysis was determining the zone of impact of<br />
Włocławek on the neighbouring areas. The data on this subject was taken from<br />
available statistics, information included in the questionnaires returned from<br />
communes and social consultations. Delimitation of the area was carried out on the<br />
basis of the main functions of and forms of influencing the vicinity by the town which<br />
were identified beforehand. The following issues were the basis of the delimitation<br />
process:<br />
Employment<br />
Shuttle-like migrations connected with local residents of communes and neighbouring<br />
counties commuting to their work places in Włocławek constituted the subject of the<br />
analysis. On the basis of the number of monthly travel cards for both bus and railway<br />
transport the main directions of migration, as well as, the number of regular<br />
commuters was established. In this way, the range and intensity of travels were<br />
assessed, which resulted in identifying the zone of the town’s influence in the field.<br />
28
The zone covers 26 communes within four counties: Włocławek, Lipno, Aleksandrów<br />
and Radziejów, from where as many as approximately 8 thousand persons commute<br />
daily to work. It is worth remembering, though, that the presented data by no means<br />
represents the entire phenomenon. Research carried out in communes neighbouring<br />
Włocławek have revealed that a substantial number of commuters travel by their own<br />
car rather than by public transport. It particularly concerns the communes located in<br />
the direct vicinity of the town; the estimate figures stand at 1000 <strong>–</strong> 1500 persons.<br />
Education, culture and sport<br />
Higher-level and secondary education are a vital factor influencing the functioning and<br />
the extent of the zone in which the town affects its neighbouring areas. There are four<br />
higher education school in Włocławek at the moment: Higher School of Humanities<br />
and Economics, State Higher Vocational School, Higher School of Techniques and<br />
Entrepreneurship, and Higher School of Information Technology in Łódź Włocławek<br />
Affiliate. A total of approximately 9 thousand students attend the classes in these<br />
schools both on normal and extramural basis. Over 60% of the students come from<br />
the Włocławek region and other regions in Poland.<br />
Włocławek is also home to numerous secondary schools both of general education and<br />
vocational ones. They are very popular with students from outside of the town, which<br />
particularly true for vocational schools where the percentage of students from the<br />
neighbouring communes and counties reaches as high as 30%.<br />
Włocławek Scientific Society is an important centre of science in the city. The society<br />
organises numerous scientific conferences of both regional and national character, it<br />
also initiates many scientific researches and projects connected Kujavy and Ziemia<br />
Dobrzyńska area. Włocławek Scientific Society is the biggest publisher of scientific and<br />
regional literature in the city. Through its members and the affiliate in Rypin the<br />
society has a great impact on local societies of the intelligentsia in the neighbouring<br />
communes and counties.<br />
A number of educational and training centres are present in Włocławek offering<br />
services to the residents of the whole functional area. They include among others the<br />
Voivodship Centre for Drivers’ Training and Testing which trains and tests future<br />
drivers from the area of five counties: Włocławek, Aleksandrów, Lipno, Rypin and<br />
Radziejów. Foreign language schools and other educational institutions organising<br />
further vocational training courses are also numerous.<br />
The cultural life of the city and its level as well as the quality of cultural events<br />
organised have a crucial impact on the surroundings. Włocławek is home to numerous<br />
cultural and culture-related institutions offering services to the residents of the<br />
neighbouring areas. The Impresario Theatre, where the best Polish actors appear on<br />
stage, the concerts organised in the largest arenas in town, exhibitions of modern art<br />
by renowned artists both Polish and foreign make up an offer widely accepted not only<br />
by the residents of Włocławek. Research proves that the residents of the communes in<br />
the following counties eagerly take advantage of the cultural offer of the city:<br />
Włocławek, Radziejów, Lipno, and partially Aleksandrów.<br />
The cultural resources such as monuments of material culture, numerous museums<br />
(seven) are a rich offer for residents of other areas. The offer is used by school groups<br />
from neighbouring communes and counties visiting Włocławek during excursions.<br />
The importance of the city and its influence on the vicinity is also marked by the fact<br />
that it’s the seat of two local daily newspapers: Gazeta Kujawska and Nowości<br />
Włocławskie. The city is also home to two radio stations of overlocal range: Radio Gra<br />
and Radio Hit.<br />
29
Good technical facilities and a high level of sport result in a big interest in this area of<br />
life. Basketball matches played by the Polish Champion, and many times Vice<br />
Champion <strong>–</strong> Anwil <strong>–</strong> gather thousands of spectators and fans from all around the<br />
region. Perfect technical parameters and high functionality of the largest sports facility<br />
<strong>–</strong> The Champions’ Arena make it possible to organise many national and international<br />
events in Włocławek. A substantial part in creating this function of Włocławek is played<br />
by the Włocławek Aeroclub. Not only does it train pilots, but it is also an organiser of<br />
numerous important sports events of both national and international range. One of the<br />
examples might be the European Championships of flying models, or championships of<br />
hot air balloons.<br />
Owing to the aforementioned factors, the zone of influence of the city spans a long<br />
way behind its closest vicinity.<br />
Trade<br />
The period of the last 5 years has seen the emergence of Włocławek as an important<br />
trade centre. Numerous factors have contributed to this process with erection of three<br />
big shopping malls connected with hypermarket chain outlets (Real, Tesco, Kaufland)<br />
being the most important. A substantial number of customers are attracted to these<br />
shops by their wide assortment, and aggressive promotional campaigns. Analyses<br />
conducted in July 2005 revealed that residents of neighbouring counties make up<br />
approximately 35% of the total number of customers. Nearly a half of them visit<br />
Włocławek at least once a week to do shopping. The rest come to the town once a<br />
fortnight and a tiny percentage does it less frequently. Wholesale outlets are also an<br />
important element of the city’s commercial function. Many small retailers from the<br />
neighbouring towns and villages treat them as the main source of supplies for their<br />
outlets.<br />
Business-related services<br />
At present the city is home to numerous branches and affiliates of commercial banks<br />
operating in our country. The total number of financial institutions present on the<br />
Włocławek market reaches approximately 20. They also offer a wide range of services<br />
to persons living out of Włocławek. It particularly concerns Bank Ochrony Środowiska<br />
(Environment Protection Bank), Bank Gospodarki Żywnościowej (Food Management<br />
Bank), Kredyt Bank (Credit Bank), PKO BP, BZWBK and PeKaO S.A., which widely<br />
cater for the needs of residents of other counties. Detailed determination of<br />
geographical distribution of these services is not possible due to lack of necessary<br />
data.<br />
There are also institutions dealing with the economic life and business servicing. One<br />
of them is the Kujavian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. This organisation enlists<br />
more than 100 business entities from the city and the neighbouring counties offering a<br />
wide range of business-related services also to other entities.<br />
Specialised healthcare<br />
The Voivodship Hospital in Włocławek is a specialist healthcare centre for inhabitants<br />
of the counties of: Włocławek, Lipno, Radziejów, Aleksandrów and Rypin. The <strong>Regional</strong><br />
Oncology Centre in Włocławek has the same function serving the inhabitants of the<br />
town and the neighbouring regions. There are also a number of private units offering<br />
healthcare services frequently used by the residents of the neighbouring communes<br />
and counties.<br />
30
Administration<br />
Włocławek is a seat of numerous institutions of public and special administration. The<br />
town seats the Local Office of Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship Office, and the Local<br />
Office of the Marshal’s Office in Toruń. The Kujawsko-Pomorskie Bureau of Spatial and<br />
<strong>Regional</strong> Planning covering the whole voivodship is also seated in the town. Moreover,<br />
there are the seats of District Court and District Prosecutor’s Office in Włocławek<br />
covering the counties of: Włocławek, Aleksandrów, Radziejów, Rypin and Lipno.<br />

The recreational relations of the town and its neighbouring areas are an important<br />
factor influencing wide-range changes in the rural regions. In case of Włocławek, these<br />
relations are evident and derive from the richness of natural environment surrounding<br />
the town. Forest complexes of Gostynin-Włocławek Nature Park or the Włocławek<br />
Reservoir are excellent examples. The inhabitants of Włocławek explore these areas,<br />
which is visible through a rising number of recreation buildings erected there. The<br />
town has a well-developed tourist infrastructure with numerous hotels, two of which<br />
are four-star hotels (Młyn Hotel and Aleksander Hotel). This feature helps to develop<br />
the town’s function as a tourist centre based on rich natural and cultural background.<br />
The effect of the economic development of Włocławek and of the improving material<br />
status of some part of its inhabitants are the deconcentration processes and constant<br />
migration to the surrounding areas. This phenomenon is evident in the communes<br />
remaining in the direct vicinity of the town, such as the communes of: Włocławek,<br />
31
Brześć Kujawski, Fabianki and Lubanie. In these communes as many as approximately<br />
100 new houses built by the residents of Włocławek appear every year. Additionally, it<br />
worth mentioning that these areas are also a destination for inhabitants of other<br />
regions to settle down. As a result, a suburban zone with all its characteristics is<br />
emerging.<br />
The analysis of the presented subject matter makes it possible to determine the<br />
influence area of Włocławek. It is possible to point 3 zones (levels) of bonds. The first<br />
one covers tight relations of high frequency such as business and economic relations<br />
(the town as a market for farming products, place of work and education).<br />
Geographically, these are the communes in the direct vicinity of Włocławek: Fabianki,<br />
Włocławek, Lubanie, Brześć Kujawski, Bobrowniki, Dobrzyń n/W, Kowal, Bądkowo,<br />
Osięciny, Choceń, Lubraniec.<br />
The second zone is characterised by looser, bonds based on less frequent contacts:<br />
major shopping, dealing with administrative matters, further professional training,<br />
taking part in cultural and sports events and, in relatively small proportion, commuting<br />
to work and school. This level comprises such communes as: Lubień Kujawski,<br />
Baruchowo, Boniewo, Izbica Kujawska, Chodecz, Bytoń, Waganiec, Lipno.<br />
Functional-spacious relations in the third zone are less intensive than in the previous<br />
ones. The contacts with the town are limited to handling administrative matters in<br />
some voivodship-level offices and institutions in the town, specialist medical treatment<br />
and extramural studies in one of the town’s schools of higher education. This zone<br />
covers such communes like: Dobre, Radziejów, Piotrków Kujawski, Aleksandrów<br />
Kujawski, Koneck, Zakrzewo, Chrostkowo, Rogowo, Rypin, Skrwilno, Kikół and Brzuze.<br />
The functional area of Włocławek is also the zone influencing the city. The<br />
neighbouring communes more often then never are place of work for the residents of<br />
Włocławek. They are also a direct supply of food and resources for the food processing<br />
industry located in the city. These are also areas of high recreational values as well as<br />
spas. The communes directly neighbouring the city are the development areas for the<br />
suburban zone.<br />
The Evaluation of the City’s Potential within its Functions and<br />
Connections with the Functional Area<br />
The analysis of mutual relations between the city and its surroundings leads to the<br />
following conclusions:<br />
1. Włocławek has a clearly-shaped functional area comprising 41 communes. This<br />
region is internally diversified due to various strength of the town’s influence.<br />
As a result it possible to distinguish 3 zones with a different level of strength of<br />
bonds with the city. The strongest bonds are to be noticed in the first zone<br />
comprising 26 communes located in the direct vicinity of the city.<br />
2. The most important services offered by the town to its surroundings include:<br />
education, employment, trade and business-related services.<br />
3. Włocławek is not competitive in relation to other neighbouring urban centres<br />
(Toruń, Płock).<br />
4. The feeling of majority of residents of the functional region is that the city does<br />
not meet their requirements in catering for higher-level needs.<br />
5. The city does not use its development potential connected with the natural and<br />
cultural resources and its favourable geographical location.<br />
6. The co-operation between the town’s self-government and the local authorities<br />
of the communes in the functional region in drive to execute common projects<br />
is not sufficient.<br />
32
Main directions of development of the functions of the city as<br />
regional centre<br />
The further development of Włocławek as a regional centre depends on many external<br />
and internal factors. The most important external factors include the changing<br />
economic situation of the country and of the European Union, social and economic<br />
policy of the Government, and policies of regional authorities. All these factors are<br />
mainly objective ones, so the local self-government has limited possibilities to<br />
influence them. With the internal factors the situation looks different. They are mostly<br />
connected with the activity of local community and of the town’s self-government. A<br />
high level of activity from the local community combined with good decisions about<br />
the functions of the town to be developed, offer a chance for the growth of the town<br />
and improvement in its competitiveness in servicing the whole region. The analysis of<br />
services offered by Włocławek, including the expectations and needs of the people<br />
living in the region, as well as the evaluation by the local authorities of the town, point<br />
out that the town should develop the following services:<br />
Specialised healthcare and hospital healthcare<br />
Necessary activities to be taken:<br />
• expanding the function of Wieniec Zdrój Spa, including the introduction of new<br />
kinds of services as a spa;<br />
• development of the voivodship hospital in Włocławek towards specialised<br />
healthcare (cardiology, oncology, ophthalmology),<br />
• development of private clinical hospitals.<br />
Meeting these objectives will take strong lobbying actions and close co-operation of<br />
the local authorities of the town with the voivodship authorities and the Ministry of<br />
Health. The authorities of the town should create conditions for establishing non-public<br />
healthcare units by offering preferential conditions for real estate purchase, tax<br />
incentives etc.<br />
Culture<br />
One of the most basic and important tasks to be done to upgrade the level of cultural<br />
services should be the improvement of the image and beauty of the town. To do this<br />
the following actions must be taken:<br />
• revitalising the oldest part of town including the area of 3 Maja Street, the Old<br />
Market and the Embankment,<br />
• improving the technical condition of important monuments of material culture;<br />
• re-organising the buildings in the city centre.<br />
Meeting these objectives will take serious financial support from the city budget and<br />
other resources. The self-government should create a system of preferences and<br />
incentives for the owners of buildings that must be renovated and redecorated.<br />
Moreover, the development of cultural services will require:<br />
• support by the local authorities of all initiatives connected with organising<br />
major cultural events such as: exhibitions, concerts, theatre performances, film<br />
festivals etc.<br />
• improving the technical condition and looks of cultural premises (the building of<br />
the Impresario Theatre, the open-air theatre);<br />
• support for artists.<br />
33
Sport<br />
The development of services in the field of sport will take the following actions:<br />
• improving the technical condition of and upgrading the existing sports<br />
facilities. It mostly concerns the football stadium;<br />
• building new sports facilities for organising big national and international<br />
sports events. It is necessary to build a complex of swimming pools, including<br />
a full-size one;<br />
• supporting the existing sports clubs, especially those that have top-level<br />
disciplines (basketball, judo);<br />
• financial support of major sports events.<br />
Tourism and recreation<br />
The main asset for developing the services in the sector of tourism and recreation is<br />
the Włocławek Reservoir. It has a huge potential for satisfying all needs of the people<br />
of Włocławek and the region in the field of sport and recreation. Meeting this objective<br />
will take:<br />
• building the facilities that would help to use the Włocławek Reservoir. The local<br />
self-government of Włocławek, together with the authorities of communes<br />
located by the reservoir should attract investors to build the infrastructure<br />
connected with water sports and recreation;<br />
• making the most of the Gostynin-Włocławek Landscape Park. This objective<br />
should be pursued together with the local authorities of the communes where<br />
the Park is;<br />
• intensive promotion of the tourist and recreational assets of the town and its<br />
surroundings.<br />
Trade and basic support services<br />
According to the residents of the region, this is one of the most important areas of<br />
services. The development of these services will upgrade the level of competitiveness<br />
of the city. Meeting this objective will take creating attractive conditions for building a<br />
large shopping centre, offering a wide choice of services. To do this, proper planning<br />
documents must be prepared to facilitate the issuing of all necessary permissions and<br />
localisation decisions, and to prepare the technical infrastructure necessary to start<br />
the construction works.<br />
Business environment services<br />
The business environment institutions are mostly banks, credit funds, financial<br />
institutions, insurance institutions as well as counselling and book keeping institutions.<br />
These are also some organisations of entrepreneurs and businessmen. The local<br />
authorities should do everything to make sure that there are a lot of such institutions<br />
in Włocławek. The following actions should be taken, then:<br />
• establishing a close co-operation with the existing organisations (mostly with<br />
the Kujavian Chamber of Commerce and Industry);<br />
• organising lobbying actions to create such institutions in Włocławek;<br />
• creating good organisational and material conditions attracting such<br />
institutions to the town.<br />
Taking and executing the suggested investment and organisational tasks should result<br />
in achieving a satisfactory level of these services and a wide-range of their influence.<br />
34
Conclusions<br />
Executing the drafted directions of development of some of the town’s functions<br />
combined with its general socio-economic development will allow to achieve the<br />
following aims:<br />
1. Strengthen the position of the town in the settlement system of the voivodship<br />
as a regional development centre.<br />
2. Increase the importance of Włocławek as a service centre, and make it more<br />
competitive in relation to other centres.<br />
3. Strengthen the economic bonds between the town and its surroundings.<br />
4. Make the most of the internal development preconditions connected with the<br />
natural environment and cultural assets.<br />
5. Develop the city economically through new investments in the field of services<br />
and production.<br />
6. Create new places of work for the residents of Włocławek and the functional<br />
region.<br />
7. Improve the general image of the city.<br />
One of the key issues conditioning the achievement of these objectives is a close and<br />
wide co-operation between the local self-government of the town of Włocławek and<br />
local authorities in the functional region.<br />

Aims and Asumptions of the Project<br />
The main objective of the elaboration titled: “The conception of the economic<br />
development of the Noteć River Valley within Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship” is to<br />
establish the directions of activities to be undertaken for the economic revival of the<br />
areas situated along the Noteć River, especially those included in the borders of<br />
Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship. The elaboration is of key importance in the process<br />
of promoting of the Noteć River Valley <strong>–</strong> the analysis is also meant to promote the<br />
statutory needs of social organisations dealing with such problems like environment<br />
protection, promotion of tourism etc. The guidelines for spatial development plans<br />
drafted by local self-governments will also be of primary importance.<br />
Methodology<br />
A dual-phase approach was applied while preparing the “The conception of the<br />
economic development of the Noteć River Valley” project:<br />
1. the analysis of the status quo,<br />
2. arriving at relevant conclusions, suggestions and directions of actions to be<br />
taken on the basis of the analyses.<br />
Two types of data constitute the starting point for the analyses i.e.:<br />
a) indirect data:<br />
- statistical;<br />
- thematic elaborations,<br />
- expert opinions,<br />
- studies of preconditions and spatial development.<br />
b) direct data:<br />
- trips aimed at gathering documentation (e.g. photographic<br />
documentation),<br />
- survey in the area (among local societies and authorities).<br />
Due to a specific type of entry data it is mainly the statistical methodology (statistical<br />
indexes etc.) which is applied for the data analysis. Those phenomena which are not<br />
measurable by means of statistical methods are analysed with the use of descriptive<br />
39
characteristics. A comparative analysis of the studies of preconditions and spatial<br />
development of communes included in the elaboration was carried out.<br />
The results of the spatial analyses are largely presented in a text form accompanied<br />
by graphics (maps, cartograms, diagrams). The photographic documentation of the<br />
area is also meant to be regarded as display and presentation material.<br />
Results of analyses<br />
As many as 21 administrative units within Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship situated<br />
along the Noteć River make up the area covered by this elaboration, and their total<br />
area equals 3 484 square kilometres. They include one urban commune (Inowrocław),<br />
12 urban-rural communes and 8 rural ones. The river crosses twelve communes,<br />
seven are adjacent to the river, and two communes are not situated in the direct<br />
vicinity of it. The area concerned includes thirteen towns, seven of which are directly<br />
associated with the river (the river flows through them): Kruszwica, Pakość, Barcin,<br />
Łabiszyn, Nakło, and Inowrocław, Janikowo are situated in the direct vicinity of the<br />
river. In its northern part the area borders with the urban county of Bydgoszcz. The<br />
population of the area concerned exceeds 347 thousand, which is 16,8% of the total<br />
population of Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship.<br />
The Noteć River, with its 388,5 km, is the seventh longest river in Poland, and the<br />
area of its basin approximates 17 thousand square kilometres. The river has enjoyed<br />
its important position ever since the Bydgoszcz Canal connected the basins of two<br />
largest rivers in Poland in 1774. Extensive utilisation of the Noteć River as well as the<br />
whole system of canals for transport purposes in the 19 th and 20 th centuries allowed<br />
the development of the city of Bydgoszcz. Even today the Noteć River along with the<br />
Bydgoszcz Water Junction is a part of the E-70 transnational water route linking Berlin<br />
with Kaliningrad. The length of the Noteć River within Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship<br />
amounts to 127 km, which is a third of its total length.<br />
The natural values of the area are highlighted by the existence of: the Goplo<br />
Millennium Landscape Park, 10 natural reserves, 8 protected landscape areas and<br />
numerous natural monuments. Moreover, the area concerned encloses two areas of<br />
special protection of birds being a part of the European Ecological Programme “Nature<br />
2000”: the Goplo Wildlife Site on the area of the communes of Kruszwica, Jeziora<br />
Wielkie, Piotrków Kujawski), the Valley of Central Noteć and Bydgoszcz Canal on the<br />
area of communes of Nakło nad Notecią, Sadki, Kcynia, Sicienko, Szubin, the city of<br />
Bydgoszcz.<br />
The climate of this area is characterised by high changeability with significant yearly<br />
temperature amplitudes as for Polish conditions. The southern end of the Noteć River<br />
Valley is where the annual average temperature tends to be the highest in the whole<br />
Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship.<br />
The analysed area is characterised by the existence of excellent soils for agriculture,<br />
with one of the best conditions in the whole Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship in this<br />
respect. The Noteć River Valley area is generally characterised by a low share of<br />
forests and wooded land. A low level of forestation along with the low level of rainfall<br />
in central and southern part of the area lead to the shortage of water in the soil.<br />
The birth rate, which is the difference between births and deaths on the area, is<br />
moderate and stands at 0,9 births per one thousand inhabitants. The geographical<br />
distribution of the phenomenon is fairly variable. The northern part of the region is<br />
characterised by the highest value of birth rate. By contrast, seven administrative<br />
40
units (four towns and three communes) situated in the southern end of the region<br />
display a negative birth rate.<br />
The migration rate <strong>–</strong> the balance between incoming and outgoing population in the<br />
area of the Noteć River Valley is also variable. The total value for the whole region is<br />
1,4 persons/one thousand inhabitants, which means that the number of incoming<br />
people slightly exceeds that of the outgoing population. Unfortunately, the spatial<br />
distribution of this phenomenon has a negative character as more than a half of<br />
administrative units (towns and rural areas) display a negative migration balance.<br />
The entrepreneurship rate (expressed as the total number of businesses per 1 000<br />
inhabitants at the productive age) for the whole area takes the value of 121. For all<br />
cities in the region this figure stands at 137,2. The rate in the rural areas is 101,7 on<br />
average. The presence of two rural communes in the set of units with the highest<br />
entrepreneurship rate (additionally the commune of Białe Błota occupying the first<br />
position) indicates their outstanding economic potential deriving from the vicinity of a<br />
large centre (the city of Bydgoszcz) and their roles as suburban communes.<br />
On 2004-12-31 as many as 41 320 persons were registered as unemployed on the<br />
analysed area. 18 799 of which were on rural areas (45,5%) and 22 521 in towns<br />
(54,5%). The unemployment rate expressed as the ratio of the jobless persons and<br />
the total population at the productive age on the area equals 18,6%, with rural areas<br />
18,6% and towns 18,7%. The suburban communes in the vicinity of Bydgoszcz are<br />
characterised by the lowest unemployment rate. The spatial distribution of<br />
unemployment on the area of the Noteć River Valley does not display a clear<br />
concentration, it has a “belt” character: from north-west to south-east.<br />
The analysed area of the Noteć River Valley present features which make it one of the<br />
most agriculturally attractive areas in Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship. Nevertheless,<br />
the human impact on the environment has transformed the picturesque Noteć River<br />
Valley into a densely-populated area with highly-developed industry. The area hosts<br />
factories of both regional and national importance in the following branches: chemical,<br />
food, mining and cement (Inowrocław, Kruszwica, Janikowo, Wapienno). The Noteć<br />
River Valley is one of the most polluted areas in Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship.<br />
The demographic situation in the area is moderate, especially if the basic indicator of<br />
the birth rate is taken into account. A negative phenomenon that should not be<br />
neglected, however, is the extensive migration process from rural areas, which<br />
weakens the demographic potential of selected communes.<br />
The economic aspect of the Noteć River Valley evades an unambiguous evaluation. On<br />
the one hand, entrepreneurship is relatively high and equally distributed on the whole<br />
area. On the other hand, however, a high unemployment rate must be perceived in<br />
very negative terms <strong>–</strong> the figure stands at, at least, 18% on a bigger part of the<br />
region.<br />
Conclusions<br />
To recapitulate, the realisation of the project will enable an improved management of<br />
the Noteć River Valley area through identifying the supraregional indicators adding to<br />
a better quality of space management. Perceiving the area from the perspective of the<br />
membership in the European economic area requires a multi-layer approach to the<br />
problem, especially taking into account the fact that this region is a potential support<br />
area. The spatial development plan for Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship drafted on<br />
41
2003 assumes the continuation of co-existence of various functions on the analysed<br />
area: the agricultural, industrial and tourist function.<br />
As far as tourism is concerned, the following preconditions are of key importance:<br />
- The development of tourism should be based on anthropogenic values (more than<br />
800 years’ history), as well as, on natural landscape values;<br />
- The distance of 250 km from the German border creates possibilities for<br />
development of foreign tourism;<br />
- Creating a leisure infrastructure for weekend tourism for Bydgoszcz-Toruń<br />
Metropolitan Area and bigger towns in the communes by the Noteć River;<br />
- Water tourism on the Noteć River is a chance for the area and for the Kujawsko-<br />
Pomorskie and the neighbouring voivodships.<br />
At present the elaboration is being continued, the analyses of thematic areas covering<br />
natural, tourist, economic, social etc. issues are under way. The results of these<br />
analyses were presented during local working meetings within <strong>Defris</strong> Project, and they<br />
were discussed on by international <strong>Partners</strong>, which greatly facilitated the exchange of<br />
planning experiences. The works also included a photographic documentation covering<br />
the areas along the river. Further on, we are going to continue the studies. The<br />
elaborations titled:<br />
- “The Noteć River Valley. The Cultural Values as an Activating Element of Tourism<br />
<strong>Development</strong> Movement.”<br />
- The Noteć River Valley. The Outline of <strong>Development</strong> of the Water Route along with<br />
the Associated Technical and Tourist Infrastructure” are finished.<br />
These works, and especially their results, were presented during the <strong>Defris</strong> conference<br />
in Bydgoszcz in December 2006.<br />
The results of the elaboration will be published and distributed among all authorities in<br />
the Noteć River Valley area. The project will be a very important tool for regional and<br />
local authorities and for their development strategy and local area development plans.<br />
In order to create a tourist product based on the assets offered by the Noteć River, it<br />
is necessary to develop a proper tourist infrastructure. The basic elements of this<br />
infrastructure are meant to be relatively small, modern ports offering tourist<br />
information, accommodation, food, fuel for vessels or leisure facilities. The alreadyexisting<br />
hydro-technical facilities, now used for transport purposes, could be the basis<br />
for development of the network of such ports.<br />
Developing tourist infrastructure on the Noteć River requires taking a number of steps,<br />
of which, on the early stages, the most important are: achieving and maintaining an<br />
appropriate level of water cleanness, flood protection, protection of landscape in the<br />
vicinity of the river, development of the technical infrastructure, connecting the water<br />
route with other forms of tourism and recreation and a widely-understood education<br />
and tourist information supported by marketing activities. The analyses reveal all<br />
necessary activities meant to lead to the revival of water tourism and its optimal use<br />
for both tourists and local society. All necessary localisations of marinas, river ports,<br />
camp sites with appropriate infrastructure have been suggested.<br />
A system of marinas in this area might become one of the elements of the water way.<br />
The marinas should offer a wide range of services: docking cruiser vessels and<br />
motorboats, car park services, mechanical and boatbuilding services, accommodation<br />
for canoeists, water and food supply, taking advantage the natural assets and tourist<br />
attractions of the communes situated by the Noteć River.<br />
The projects directly associated with the Noteć River, or the canals, must necessarily<br />
be connected with widening the scope of tourist offer of the region by the forms of<br />
recreation strictly connected with the water route or generally drawing from the<br />
42
increased tourists’ interest. The studies describe the creation of a system of walking or<br />
cycling routes crossing with the water ones, organising various events combining<br />
water tourism with other forms of activities, building recreational facilities along the<br />
water routes <strong>–</strong> horse riding clubs, swimming facilities, sports facilities, angling<br />
facilities.<br />
In the first place, however, it necessary to secure this area in spatial development<br />
plans and then, the successive execution of the plans. The proposal of works<br />
associated with constructing a system of ports and riverside hostels by the Noteć River<br />
has already been prepared.<br />
The Noteć River Valley, its natural landscape assets offer a potential possibilities for<br />
the development of towns and communes located by the river. The development of<br />
tourism is bound to bring measurable benefits for the local residents by creating new<br />
work places, which a crucial issue for this region.<br />
At present, the key task seems to be an intensive promotion of water tourism, and a<br />
wide-scale lobbying in all institutions, bodies of local authorities and nongovernmental<br />
organisations for the sake of “turning the society to rivers”. The<br />
elaboration is an element of actions taken and it is meant to help in gaining allies and<br />
supporters.<br />

DISSEMINATION
Being a key stage of the execution of <strong>Defris</strong> project, WP3 required an appropriate level<br />
of promotion and information about the activities conducted within its scope. The<br />
promotion of individual strategic development projects (SDP) was carried out on local,<br />
regional and national levels. However, it was also present, and visible, on the<br />
international level. As a result of the fact that each Partner in the <strong>Defris</strong> project had<br />
their own marketing and promotion budget at disposal, separate information<br />
spreading strategies were applied in each region.<br />

TRANSNATIONALITY
One of the main tasks of the <strong>Defris</strong> project is the exchange of information, data,<br />
experience and methods in the field of regional planning <strong>–</strong> both on the stage of<br />
evaluation of the preconditions of development and the analysis of the potential of<br />
regions and of planning their future development. Considerable differences between<br />
the countries of origins of the regions involved in the project - physical-geographical,<br />
socio-economic organisation and level, general organisation of state <strong>–</strong> make the<br />
methods and conditions of regional planning differ in many respects. The good<br />
practice of exchange of experiences and the opportunity to learn about the<br />
organisation of the bodies responsible for regional planning in other countries is an<br />
excellent way to considerably widen the array of own methods.<br />
The exchange of experiences in course of the project was facilitated through:<br />
a) presentations of projects and discussions during TNS and WGM <strong>–</strong> both during<br />
plenary sessions and in thematic groups,<br />
b) information bulletins “WP3 Newsletter”,<br />
c) e-mail contact,<br />
d) preparing information for partners (booklets and brochures with information on<br />
the project),<br />
e) carrying out thematic questionnaire surveys among the partners,<br />
f) offering answers to partners’ questions,<br />
g) possibility to learn about the methods in regional planning during TNS and<br />
WGM (presentations by <strong>Partners</strong>),<br />
h) possibility to learn practically about particular solutions in the field of regional<br />
planning and urban planning through getting to know the conduct of other<br />
planning offices and through study visits (related to spatial or regional<br />
planning) or sightseeing of towns/regions during seminars (presentations by<br />
<strong>Partners</strong>),<br />
The aforementioned aims, methods and scope of co-operation were characteristic of<br />
all projects executed by Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship, although, they may have<br />
been of various specifics due to their thematic nature and internal variety of the<br />
projects put forward by <strong>Partners</strong>, which were the pool from which thematically-related<br />
projects were drawn. The basic assumption of <strong>Defris</strong> project is that each of strategic<br />
development project executed within WP3 be implemented in co-operation with at<br />
least one region <strong>–</strong> in practice this co-operation concerned at least 3 regions, and some<br />
subjects involved all <strong>Partners</strong>. Because of the need to establish a close co-operation<br />
between regions based on distributing and implementing the results of works of WP3,<br />
the projects (including <strong>Partners</strong>’ projects) were divided into project activities.<br />
The table presents the information about the co-operation of Kujawsko-Pomorskie<br />
Voivodship with <strong>Partners</strong> for particular project activities.<br />
One of the results of the co-operation was the creation of questionnaires prepared and<br />
distributed by Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship. They made it possible to compare the<br />
issues in particular regions in a relatively objective manner; the questionnaires<br />
concerned:<br />
- the conditions of communication between the regions and the capital cities of states,<br />
- the character of the settlement system in the regions and the functioning of public<br />
services (the results of the questionnaire were presented during TNS 6 in Jyvaskyla<br />
and subsequently published in the report form,<br />
- potential for the development of tourism and the basic parameters of tourism in the<br />
region,<br />
52
- competences and influence of local self-governments on the functioning of services,<br />
especially market ones,<br />
- consumer behaviour, trends in retailing and the direction of development of shopping<br />

Within WP3 the participants of seminars had a chance to learn about the planning<br />
methods applied in particular regions. During TNS 3 in Toruń, a preview of regional<br />
planning works was organised; the participants also had a chance to find out some<br />
information (during working visits) about the work of planning/regional development<br />
offices in Norrkoping, Jyvaskyla, Włocławek, Linkoping and Kaunas.<br />
To sum up, it is important to pay attention to several vital conclusions derived from<br />
the co-operation and experience exchange within WP3. Sweden and Finland are<br />
53
countries with much more developed post-industrial economies, therefore learning<br />
about the regional planning methods in these conditions was of particular use for<br />
Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship (in the context of on-going changes in Poland). In<br />
many respects, Kujawsko-Pomorskie is similar to Kaunas, which is largely the effect of<br />
natural environment similarities, but it is remarkably different form the regions in<br />
Sweden and Finland. One should also indicate the substantial discrepancies in the<br />
quality, character and availability of data and information crucial for regional planning.<br />
Both Scandinavian countries present a considerably more advantageous situation than<br />
the other regions in this respect. The shortage of lack of data for numerous important<br />
issues, results in important aspects of analyses in Poland being neglected, while<br />
appropriate elaborations are routinely prepared in Finland and Sweden. The natural<br />
conditions, are obviously, the basic preconditions shaping the development of regional<br />
policy in all partner regions (they also determine the character of the settlement<br />
system). Nevertheless, the legal system and the organisation of state (competences<br />
and duties of authorities, administrative division) are also important modifying factors.<br />
Another important precondition, especially in case of transport infrastructure, is the<br />
level of the country’s wealth and their general socio-economic development, which<br />
results in Poland in the need to upgrade the transport network to generally-accepted<br />
standards, while scandinavian countries are able to implement the most modern<br />
trends in the field of safety and travel time shortening.<br />
Another field where remarkable differences are to be noticed is the management and<br />
character of tourism and recreation, and the conditions of development of agriculture<br />
(which implicates demographic consequences, as well). The system of financing and<br />
executing the responsibilities of local self-governments is also different. The local<br />
authorities in both Scandinavian countries have more freedom in shaping the structure<br />
of expenditures than is the case in Poland. The networks of co-operation between<br />
communes based on taking on various projects together, and common organisation of<br />
services (e.g. healthcare) are also common practice there.<br />

CONCLUSIONS
The report presented the result of over two-year long work done within the work<br />
package no. 3 (WP3) of <strong>Defris</strong> project. Having completed the work on package no.1<br />
(devoted to data gathering and exchange of experiences concerning the analysis<br />
methodology) and no. 2 (devoted to the analysis of regional planning systems and the<br />
organisation and competences of the administration in the partner countries and<br />
regions) the data and information gathered were the basis for the execution of<br />
projects of strategic importance for the development of the regions. The projects were<br />
subject to detailed and multi-layer co-operation between the partner-regions. These<br />
were 3 strategic development projects covering the fields of various specifics and<br />
objectives of development which were selected in Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship:<br />
1. The Bydgoszcz-Toruń Metropolitan Area as the development zone.<br />
The achieved objective of the project was the diagnosis of socio-economic and<br />
communications preconditions, which was the basis for setting objectives and<br />
directions for further development. The elaboration has been used as an element of<br />
the Plan of development and spatial management of BTMA.<br />
2. Shaping the function of Włocławek as a regional centre.<br />
The project enabled a complex analysis of the function of Włocławek as a<br />
supplementary centre of regional importance along with identifying the spatial<br />
scope and character of interactions between the town and its surrounding area. The<br />
study also resulted in drafting the directions of the city’s development, especially<br />
regarding the improvement of its function as a large service centre.<br />
3. The conception of the economic development of the Noteć River Valley.<br />
The project involved a multi-aspect analysis of a vast and varied south-western part<br />
of the voivodship, aimed at identifying the possibilities of its economic activation on<br />
the basis of its water-related assets <strong>–</strong> the Noteć River as the water road and tourist<br />
route. The elaboration refers to a similar study on the western part of Noteć River<br />
valley prepared in Wielkopolskie Voivodship.<br />
The elaborations prepared within WP3 are a new experience in regional planning in<br />
Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship. These are first regional studies conducted with such<br />
close and wide co-operation with foreign regions. As many as approximately 20<br />
experts from Kujawsko-Pomorskie Bureau of Spatial and <strong>Regional</strong> Planning were<br />
involved in the project. About 10 of them participated in the activities of the work<br />
groups (WGM) and international seminars (TNS). The planning methods of the working<br />
team have been enriched by new knowledge, methods, data and information, the<br />
more valuable because they were gathered in regions of varied preconditions, but<br />
representing the features and problems important for the development of Kujawsko-<br />
Pomorskie Voivodship. One of the three strategic projects (“BTMA as the development<br />
zone”) has become an important element of the updated spatial management plan of<br />
the voivodship, so the results of work will have a direct impact on decision making<br />
concerning the development policy. The other subjects (“Shaping the function of<br />
Włocławek as a regional centre” and “The conception of the economic development of<br />
the Noteć River Valley”) enabled a complex diagnosis of the level of development<br />
(combined with identification of problems and suggested directions of activities) and<br />
they make an invaluable material for self-governments of all levels.<br />
Apart from the important advantage resulting from the execution of WP3 in the form<br />
of enriching the potential of the planning services of the voivodship marshal, the<br />
prepared elaborations are a measurable, useful product for conducting the regional<br />
policy, which clearly indicates the importance of continuing similar co-operation<br />
programmes based on inter-regional co-operation in the years to come.<br />
