Innovation in Urban Infrastructure for Development of Physical Culture: An Example of a Little Town in Poland

Abstract

Improving the sports infrastructure (and more broadly - in the field of physical culture) in the urban space contributes to the improvement of the living conditions of the inhabitants. How does it work in a small town? This is a case study of the city of Strzyżów (Podkarpackie Voivodeship, Poland). The indicated town has created an interesting sports, recreational and tourist base. The plan for the sustainable development of the city and the commune took into account the needs in this respect. This applies to encouraging civic and recreational activity in free time. Sports and tourism for all are developed, as well as rehabilitation of disabled people. Recreational physical activity in the open space (cycling, horseback riding, other open space sports) simultaneously serves social health, the growth of physical culture and the sustainable development of the city and the commune.
