Summary

• SUMP as a complex process;

• A need to vast data audit among all stakeholders in

the city (police, transport, spatial planning, education,

health…);

• Possibility to integration and development of existing

strategies and plans;

• Need to be adjusted to very local conditions (i.e.

strong position of district councils in Gdynia, growing

importasnce of participatory budget…);

• National/regional framework of highest importance.
