Metropolitan Area Gdańsk Gdynia Sopot

A delegation of the Gdansk Gdynia Sopot Metropolitan Area association paid a visit last week to Rotterdam in the Netherlands to exchange experiences with representatives of the metropolitan area there.

The Gdansk-Gdynia-Sopot Metropolitan Area is preparing to implement the Low Carbon Economy Plan (PGN), which will list the investments in the low-carbon economy in the 31 municipalities of Pomerania.

Work on the roadways in the Martwa Wisla tunnels is nearing completion and next week it is expected that the final 13 metres in each tunnel will be concreted.

From the beginning of October, the Gdansk-Gdynia-Sopot Metropolitan Area will become even better connected with the extension of the Pomeranian Metropolitan Area line to the Kashubian town of Kartuzy.

The start of this year’s Gdynia Film Festival also saw the official opening of the Gdynia Film Centre, a new investment which has revitalised a part of central Gdynia and which increases the attractions for visitors to the city further.

The inaugural meeting of the Gdansk-Gdynia-Sopot Metropolitan Area Programme Board took place on the 24th of August at Olivia Business Centre in Gdansk. The board is a newly appointed body whose objective is to plan the direction of the development of the metropolitan area and the inaugural meeting was attended by partners from the different stake holders who will play a key role in this development – the Metropolitan Area board; the provincial government; the local government; the business community; education and non-governmental organisations.
