The participants of the debate focused on identifying the main trends that should shape the area of social and urbanisation changes in Poland up to the year 2045. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the social aspect, the discussion focused primarily on the dynamics of demographic change, with global population growth expected to continue throughout this period. At the same time, the accelerating ageing of the population, driven by the ongoing demographic decline in Poland and other developed countries, remains a key concern. These demographic shifts are also expected to result in mass migration (especially of the younger generation) to developed countries and urbanised areas.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Urbanisation processes, which are expected to further develop by 2045, are directly linked to social changes. The seminar emphasized the increasing importance of urbanized areas, which (due to their demographic, economic, and political potential) will play an increasingly significant role in shaping the functioning of societies, states, and regions, as well as influencing the security environment at both the global and regional levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P\u0142k dr Robert Reczkowski concluded the seminar, thanking the scholars and experts for their valuable contributions to the security environment analysis campaign and invited all participants to actively engage in upcoming initiatives within the NUP 2X35 project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
