TY - JOUR TI - Cohesion of Strategic Planning and Spatial Planning as a Condition for Efficient Governance of Urban Development AU - Stawasz, Danuta TI - Cohesion of Strategic Planning and Spatial Planning as a Condition for Efficient Governance of Urban Development AB - The dynamics of processes occurring in urban structures prompts the discussion concerning numerous issues that so far have not decisively contributed to urban development. This paper presents a discussion on the requirement of rational governance of urban space in relation to the need for strategic planning of city development. The subject of considerations is the assessment of the relationship between spatial planning and strategic planning in the context of building the competitiveness of the city. The presented dilemmas around the need to ensure in practice the cohesion between these two types of planning and the described effects of the lack of such cohesion represent a contribution to the debate on contemporary determinants of managing the development of urban structures. Recommendations for public authorities, indicating the need to implement the cohesion of strategic and spatial planning in governance practice, are also presented.
