Kraków infrastructure and ~~utility investment~~ spatial planning development

Kraków is implementing various infrastructure and utility investment initiatives. In September 2026, the Kraków water utility, Wodociągi Miasta Krakowa, announced a 111 million PLN investment program for 2026–2027. Titled ‘125 investments for 125 years of Wodociągi Miasta Krakowa’, the initiative includes 60 primary tasks covering nearly 40 kilometers of new or reconstructed networks to support residential development and ensure safe supply. By October 2026, the city’s broader budgetary strategy for 2025 shifted toward smaller, high-impact local projects. Mayor Aleksander Miszalski indicated a move away from large-scale developments, such as a Winter Sports Center, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, and a new headquarters for the ZZM, in favor of redirected funding for residential infrastructure. This includes schools, nurseries, green spaces, public transport, municipal housing, and utility updates. Furthering this focus on educational infrastructure, the city is investing heavily in school expansions. Notable projects include a 64.7 million PLN expansion of School and Kindergarten Complex No. 15 on Grochowa Street, expected to be operational by 2026, and a 65.4 million PLN expansion of Primary School No. 54 on Tyniecka Street to accommodate 600 students. ~~Other ongoing works involve expansions at School and Kindergarten Complex No. 8 and Primary School No. 62.
