Gdańsk has almost half a million inhabitants, and the entire Tricity has nearly 800,000. The most important Pomeranian roads, in addition to the A1 motorway, are S6 and S7 expressways as well as national roads no. 6, 7, 20, 21, 22, 25, 55, 90, 91. The railway network in the voivodeship is undergoing constant modernization The railway line 201 from Gdynia through Kościerzyna to Maksymilianów is the main railway line of the voivodeship. The works related to the construction of the second track and electrification will start already in 2020. One of the key projects of PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe is the modernization of the thoroughfare between Bydgoszcz and the Tricity. The project will lead to the increase in the speed of freight trains to 100 km/h, and passenger trains to 140 km/h. The investment will create a new corridor to the port of Gdynia, which will allow the redirection of freight traffic without taking into account the Tricity Railway Hub burdened with passenger traffic. 7 Pomeranian Voivodeship Higher Education Private universities Public universities 8 Strenghts (based on the voivodeship's strategy) The Tricity Metropolitan Area as a one of the development centers of Poland and the Baltic Sea Region and an increasingly important international transport and logistics hub High economic activity of the inhabitants and export-oriented Pomeranian companies Relatively high level of social capital and strong sense of identity of local communities A good market position of the regional specialization industries, including those related to the coastal location Stable and relatively high birth rate and positive migration balance Favorable natural conditions for the development of energy industry, including renewable energy industry 9 Pomeranian Voivodeship Tourist attractions 2 Gdynia Sopot 3 ➢ Kosciuszko Square ➢ Lightghouse ➢ ORP Błyskawica ➢ Pier ➢ Manor and park complex in ➢ Monte Cassino Orłowo ➢ Forest Opera ➢ Abraham's house 1 1 Gdańsk Lębork ➢ Długa Street and Długi Fair ➢ Teutonic Castle ➢ Main Town Hall ➢ Ivy Tower ➢ Artus Court ➢ Church of St. James ➢ The Golden Tenement House ➢ Granary Salt ➢ The Fountain of Neptune 10 Polish Investment and Trade Agency ul.
