Is Poland
really developing?

01Now

Right now 0 major investments are under way.

Not “someday.” Now. Roads, rail, factories, ports, power plants — all at once, across the country.

Records with status “under construction” or “commissioning”, sorted by momentum (stage × proximity to opening).

02Leap

What we’ve already built.

Not plans — things that stand and work. 65 completed megaprojects worth ~PLN 122 billion, across a dozen fields at once. For scale: motorways and express roads grew 7.2× in one generation (720→5,206 km).

Value of completed projects (status “completed”) by sector — nominal, fixed rate (EUR 4.30 / USD 4.00), prices from various years, not adjusted for inflation. Nuclear and offshore wind are excluded — they arrive here only once delivered. This is “value-by-stage”, not “total cost”. Express roads 720→5,206 km: GDDKiA.

03What’s coming

More openings ahead of us than behind us.

What’s been delivered so far is a fraction of what’s under construction and planned. Sort projects by opening year — and see when the bulk of the wave falls.

Tap a bar (or drag across) to see that year’s detail.

Sorted by opening year (completed → year delivered; the rest → current planned date). Bar size = share of GDP (cost ÷ nominal GDP of the cost’s price year), not nominal cost — so projects from different eras compare fairly despite inflation and the 1995 redenomination. Size is measured against GDP in the cost’s price year; where absent, the source date is used (162 with a stated price year, 99 from source date).

04Honestly

Not everything worked. And it’s good that you can see it.

But as you can see, cancelled or superseded projects are only ~5% of the whole database (18 of 383). The rest is above — standing, under construction, or planned. We show failures with the same source rigour as successes; they’re rarely black-and-white.

And even these are rarely black-and-white: Izera was cancelled but came back with Foxconn; the post-Northvolt factory was restarted by a new owner. Every case is in the database — with full context.
