The Second Metropolitan Debate in Olivia is ahead of us. Together with “Dziennik Bałtycki” – the organizer of the event and its substantive partner, the Gdańsk-Gdynia-Sopot Metropolitan Area Association, we are thinking about how to build a strong metropolis that will serve the inhabitants of our region well. Throughout the first half of 2018, representatives of local governments, universities, cultural and art institutions, entrepreneurs and politicians will meet in Olivia Business Centre, discussing the most important topics for our agglomeration.

The first debate at the headquarters of Olivia Business Centre took place on 22 January. The meeting, which was debated by representatives of the government, parliamentarians and local government officials (m.in. the presidents of Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot), ended with the signing of an important declaration by its participants. “We, the participants of the metropolitan debate organized by the editors of “Dziennik Bałtycki” in Olivia Business Centre and representatives of municipalities and districts associated in the Gdańsk-Gdynia-Sopot Metropolitan Area, express our support for the creation of a metropolitan union in the Pomeranian Voivodeship” – reads its first sentence.

On 2 March, Olivia will host a conversation on mobility. For the inhabitants of the entire region, the metropolis is first and foremost a hope for improving communication. We want to make it easier for us to move around both within Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot, as well as between the “core” of the metropolis and neighbouring cities or communes. We will therefore be discussing public transport, including the unified ticket. During the meeting, issues related to the development of SKM and the Pomeranian Metropolitan Railway will also be discussed. The interlocutors will also be looking for modern solutions – there is m.in on the agenda. the topic of the metropolitan bike.

The meeting starts on Friday, March 2 at 3:00 p.m. You will be able to follow them on an ongoing basis on the FB profile of “Dziennik Bałtycki”.
