Modern vocational education requires appropriate infrastructure and teaching tools tailored to the current needs of the labor market. In Tarnów, many school labs are outdated, making it difficult for students to acquire practical skills. The rapid development of technology and the growing demands of employers make modernization of equipment essential. The project involves comprehensively equipping…

Tarnów currently faces demographic, economic, and environmental challenges that hinder the growth of local entrepreneurship and youth business education. A lack of widespread access to mentors and platforms supporting economic initiatives encourages the ‘brain drain’ of young talent to larger hubs like Krakow or Rzeszów. Simultaneously, the underutilised potential of the local labour market and…

Due to its proximity to the Ukrainian border, Tarnów is a key transport hub on the East-West axis. The current geopolitical situation elevates the risk of transit-related crises and extraordinary emergency threats. The city hosts critical infrastructure, notably the Grupa Azoty chemical plant, alongside numerous heritage sites and venues for patriotic and religious commemorations. Additional…

Tarnów is consistently developing its IT systems under the Smart City concept; however, their maintenance, updates, and effective protection require increasing financial investment and specialised expertise. The City Hall manages not only its own internal systems but also solutions used by municipal units and residents, such as the Education Management System and the Tarnów City…

Tarnów is facing the challenge of obsolete lighting infrastructure, which results in high maintenance costs, excessive energy consumption, and a reduced level of public safety for its residents. Stare oprawy uliczne są nieefektywne, wymagają częstych napraw i powodują wzrost wydatków na energię elektryczną. Tymczasem oświetlenie miejskie odgrywa kluczową rolę w poprawie widoczności na drogach, ograniczaniu…

Tarnów is facing a dynamic increase in the number of vehicles on its roads, leading to traffic congestion, deteriorating air quality, and a growing demand for sustainable transport solutions. At the same time, the city—which has the oldest demographic structure in the Małopolska region—is struggling with the limited mobility of seniors and people with disabilities,…

Tarnów is struggling with the low functionality of the transport system along National Road 73—Lwowska Street—one of the city’s main arterial routes. This road handles both local and transit traffic, with an average traffic volume exceeding 20,000 vehicles per day. The poor technical condition of the surface, including numerous irregularities, rutting, and cracking, reduces traffic…

Tarnów is struggling with inadequate stormwater drainage infrastructure, resulting in local flooding, particularly in urbanised areas. Nearly half of the city lacks an appropriate rainwater sewage system, and the uneven distribution of watercourses hinders effective management. The increasing coverage of surfaces with impermeable materials, the lack of a full inventory of watercourses, and the growing…

Tarnów is struggling with fragmented urban greenery, a lack of planting consistency, and insufficient environmental awareness among its residents. Each year, the city office receives over 300 requests for new plantings and the revitalisation of green spaces, with district councils regularly calling for improvements to the quality of recreational areas. Furthermore, there is a shortage…

The action focuses on two key areas of urban life requiring urgent intervention: the foster care system and support for the elderly and people with disabilities. Tarnów faces a severe challenge regarding its foster care system. The number of children requiring care is rising—reaching 147 in 2023—while the number of foster families has increased only…

The action involves the modernisation of the Youth Palace (Pałac Młodzieży), the city’s largest extracurricular education institution. It addresses the problems of educational exclusion, limited opportunities for skill development, and the misalignment of the current educational offer with the modern needs of youth and the labour market. Currently, the institution is struggling with outdated infrastructure,…

Tarnów is struggling with low civic engagement, limited public dialogue, and a lack of effective cooperation between public institutions and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Particularly evident is the decline in youth engagement; this group requires enhanced educational and social opportunities to feel connected to the local community. Research indicates that only 21.5% of residents participate in…
