Poland is creating a new megacity: 41 cities will be united over an area of 2500 km²
Creation of a unified megacity in Silesia Voivodeship
According to Главком: Poland plans to create a unified megacity in Silesia Voivodeship, which will unite 41 cities and municipalities over an area of approximately 2500 square kilometers. According to preliminary estimates, the population of the new megacity will exceed 2.1 million people. The project aims to attract investments and create new jobs, contributing to the economic development of the region.
The initiators of the project are the mayor of Katowice, Marcin Krupa, and the head of GZM, Kazimierz Karolczak. It is important to note that the creation of the megacity does not involve the liquidation of existing cities, which will help preserve the cultural and historical heritage of the region. A regional referendum is planned to determine the name of the new megacity, allowing residents to express their opinions on the future merger.

Impact on economic development
Moreover, Poland is preparing to implement a new mega-airport, Port Polska, which aims to strengthen the transport infrastructure and promote further regional development. The creation of the megacity is an ambitious step towards the modernization and integration of cities in Silesia Voivodeship, which can positively impact the lives of residents.
This project can become an important step in the development of the region, as the unification of cities will create new opportunities for economic growth and investment attraction. Involving local residents in the decision-making process through a referendum highlights the importance of public opinion in shaping the future of the megacity. The results of this project may serve as an example for other regions of Poland and Europe regarding city integration and improving the quality of life for the population.
