	PricewaterhouseCoopers' reports on major Polish cities
		Throughout decades Polish cities struggled with the lack of financial means, unfavorable conditions for development, and legal regulations hampering local activity and people’s entrepreneurship.
		This is not a ranking of cities – there are too many differences between them in terms of their historical legacy and peculiar local strengths and weaknesses for such a comparison to be useful.
		Rankings and comparisons, especially in terms of quality of city management, will make sense in a few years’ time, when we are able to evaluate how cities planned their development and how they made use of the significant European Union funds available in 2007-2013.

	Thirteen Years' War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The last East Prussian city loyal to the Polish king, Knipawa, was taken after a long siege by Teutons commanded by Heinrich Reuss von Plauen (older) on June 14, 1455.
		The Polish army moved slowly to Thorn, but military actions were halted briefly, when the king finally agreed to mediation by Frederick II, Margrave of Brandenburg (all earlier propositions of mediation from different sides had been rejected).
		Teutons were raiding the Polish lands and enjoying quite a few successes (for example Kaspar Nostyc, komtur of Chojnice, captured for a few months one of the Polish cities in northern Greater Poland).

		However, the question of which of the 49 voivod-ship cities are to be deprived of their status, became the subject of a heated debate as not all of them were ready to give up this prestigious and lucrative position.
		The new cities with voivod-ship status are: Białystok, Warsaw, Szczecin, Gdańsk, Lublin, Kraków, Rzeszów, Katowice, Opole, Łódź, Kielce, Olsztyn, Wrocław, Poznań, Gorzów Wielkopolski and Zielona Góra, Bydgoszcz and Toruń (the last two pairs are joint capitals of a voivod-ship - as a result of unsolvable rows and the high ambitions of local politicians).
		City authorities, on the other hand, have to stop depending on the helping hand of Warsaw, as it cannot be the only means of future development.

		Polish regulations concerning the permissible noise emission, in force since 1998, are comparable with EU regulations.
		Congested streets in many Polish cities, chiefly major ones, and overcrowded through roads in towns are the results of it, caused mainly by the insufficient number of ring roads.
		The latest reports pertinent to noise level measurements in the biggest cities (population over 200 000), carried out on outbound roads, revealed equivalent noise levels that exceeded 78 dB/A. For cities such as Lodz, Kielce, Gdansk or Gdynia, permissible values were exceeded by 9-16 dB in the first line of building infrastructure.
