Description
Przemyśl lost its rank of a voivodship capital centre, which continues to affect the local community through assorted formal and mental issues. The city has largely failed to take advantage of its favourable border area location to improve the business development dynamic. The weakness of Przemyśl as an academic centre, legal status and physical condition of housing stock, low emission-caused air pollution, and a variety of social conflicts have all been conducive to accelerating urban depopulation.
Brief description of key activities:
- Set of projects associated with Przemyśl’s historical monuments,
- Advancing evolving interpersonal relations in combination with a modern approach to reclaiming green zones in the city;
- Activation of persons with disabilities and broadly defined social activity fostering;
- Stimulating local entrepreneurship, including i.a. projects delivered by a project Partner - the Przemyśl Regional Development Agency;
- Continuation of activities implemented for the past few years for purposes of the broadly defined Smart City concept;
- Projects targeting management skill improvement and broadly defined institutional development within Przemyśl’s local government structures.
An optimum EEA Partner profile involves a city with lavish cultural heritage, proven capacity to use its resources and potentials to develop an attractive and modern tourism-centred product, and top-quality competencies in cultural heritage governance.
Second choice would involve a Partner city recognised as a national leader in implementing local Smart City solutions. Taking into account the city''s depopulation and the decline in its significance, practices involving the enhancement of social capital, building partnership-oriented, community-based relations with the residents, and creating an attractive offer of the city seem would certainly benefit the city.
