Wojciech Szczurek, Mayor of Gdynia:
“Nearly 90% of Gdynia’s citizens are satisfied with living in the city, which is an exceptional result on a national scale. The comfort and quality of life that Gdynia offers are really unique. Gdynia is part of a bigger agglomeration [and region] which houses 1 million people. We offer all the pleasures of living in a very big city, while staying a compact city that is extremely comfortable to live, walk, or spend vacations in.”
