Sustainable Environmental Development from the Regional Perspective—The Interesting Case of Poland

The EU regional development policy aims to reduce through its cohesion policy the socio-economic development disparities between its most developed regions and peripheral regions. Research shows that despite this strategy, the economic development of EU countries in the spatial system is not homogen...
