Starting with a concise presentation of the history of the city after the political and economic transition, we subsequently carry out a descriptive analysis of the economic development of Wroclaw and its specifics. It provides us with a grounding to highlight what a development narrative of the metropolis has been up to now and how it should be shaped in the future. Further on, we present the main challenges for the development path of Wroclaw. With obtained outcomes we clearly show that the Wroclaw metropolitan area distinguishes itself against the background of Krakow, Poznan and Szczecin in terms of its development. However, the current development narrative seems to be coming to an end which implies a comprehensive policy feedback.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Wrocław – Metropolis of South-West Poland}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/112043/PDF-MASTER/17%20Zaleski,%20Mogi%C5%82a.pdf}, keywords={Economic development, metropolises, metropolitan areas, Wroclaw}, }
