ABSTRACT
The challenges of climate change require decision makers to put the emphasis on
a resource-efficient and low-carbon urban economy. This course of action is promoted
in the European Union’s “Green Deal” strategy. The policy includes a push
for a circular economy, including bioeconomy. Urban areas are classified as centres
of change: bioeconomy hubs. The aim of the paper is to present prevailing outcomes
in the field of urban bioeconomy and to determine the potential of cities
in Poland in this area. The potential to develop the urban bioeconomy in Polish
cities is significant. In most Polish cities, there is still a significant share of biologically
active areas, agricultural land and forests. The potential of biologically active
spaces in most Polish cities is underestimated. To this end, the analysis undertaken
in this article is based on an investigation of scientific studies, internet sources
and other data, including public statistics.
