41 cities and communes with a total area of 2,500 sq km, where 2.1 million residents live, with 270,000 companies and enterprises, generating approx. 8 percent of our country’s GDP. This is Metropolis GZM – Poland’s first metropolis. The implementation of statutory tasks began on 1 January 2018.

The residents of the center of the Silesian Province have for years felt that they have been functioning in a coherent urban organism, where administrative borders were purely contractual. Therefore, the creation of the Metropolis in the center of the Silesian Province was something natural.

To us, the most important goal is to take actions to improve the quality and comfort of life of residents by introducing joint solutions. We want to use the potential of member communes, stimulate the creativity of residents and inspire change, enabling the acceleration of economic and social processes, leading to the creation of a growth center that can compete with other metropolitan areas in the country and in the world.
