Pobrad
Poprad, with its 56,000 residents, is one of the 10 biggest cities in Slovakia.
The city’s most extensive investment activities in recent years have concentrated on the restoration of the city center which has resulted in several successful foreign investment projects.
Poprad faces several serious challenges. The enhancement of the transportation infrastructure is critical to industrial as well as to tourism development throughout the region.
Within the Cities of Change Network, Poprad is part of the economic development cluster focusing on tourism development. Priority objectives are to establish an administrative body to coordinate local economic development and strategic planning with stakeholders and the community and to elaborate the local economic development strategy of the city.
