The Śląskie Voivodeship is situated in the southern part of Poland – a country located in the centre of Europe that since 2004 has been a member of the European Union.
The major elements of the settlement system in the Śląskie Voivodeship are the municipal agglomerations: the Upper-Silesian – of the European significance and: Bielsko, Czêstochowa and Rybnik – of the national significance.
The Voivodeship is of polycentric nature – there is no one core centre that would fulfil the metropolitan functions (administration, finances, insurance, schools of higher education, culture).
