Planning of functional/spatial development of the ports in Gdańsk and Gdynia

Transformation of Polish economy and of its environment, especially of the Central and East European countries, is strongly reflected in port economy. Polish ports found themselves faced by the necessity of finding solutions to many strategic problems, resulting from new conditions of functioning and development. The result is that structural changes in port management are needed, and that directions of spatial development of each of the ports have to be formulated. In the last years, research and conceptual studies concerning the functional/spatial development of each of the ports have been started. One concerns a new plan of port area development for the Port of Gdynia, the other is the Master Plan for the port/industrial areas of the Port of Gdańsk.
