In 1989 Poland began a deep political, social and economic transformation. This meant the adoption of democratic rules, the organization of local government, and the introduction of a market economy. The changes in Poland in the intervening years have been revolutionary in nature, and their outcome is no longer determined by central allocation of tasks and resources, but by the rules of economic and social development in a liberal market economy. The impact of these new conditions on socio-economic development has been territorially uneven. This paper focuses on the Greater Poznan communes, exploring their socio-economic development, and how they have used their privileged geographical location and growth conditions.

Key Words: investment • local development • transformation
