The Pomorskie Voivodeship - diversity creates challenges & opportunities
- The region exhibits strong spatial diversity, which leads to a differentiated development potential;
- The division between socio-economic development in the metropolitan area and areas outside the cities
inhibits
the development of the region's territorial cohesion;
- Underdeveloped infrastructure in villages and small towns is one of the barriers to development in these areas;
