In the overall ranking Katowice is ranked at 87th position, as the third highest ranked among Polish cities – behind Warsaw (21st position) and Cracow (69 th position).
"Katowice is an excellent example of post-industrial economic development and mirrors the rapid changes taking place in whole Poland since the 1990s. In the final ranking Katowice outpaced more popular Polish investment destinations such as Poznan or Wroclaw.
