Case study report - Radomsko

Radomsko is a medium-sized city located in central Poland, within the Łódź Voivodeship. Covering an area of approximately 51 km², the city has a population of around 42,500 residents as of 2024, resulting in a population density of about 825 inhabitants per 1 km². Although Radomsko remains an important local urban centre, its population has been steadily declining over the past two decades, from nearly 50,000 inhabitants in 2000 to its current level. Although the pace of depopulation is somewhat slower than in other cities of similar size in the region, demographic decline and population ageing constitute major structural challenges. Historically, Radomsko developed as an industrial town, with furniture manufacturing and metalworking playing a dominant role in its economic profile.
