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.

### **Changes in the Steel Industry Industry in Poland in the Period 1990 to 2020: Innovation and Digitisation on the Way to Steel Mills 4.0 E\%RŧHQD\*DMG]LN**

 The article presents the development path of the steel industry in Poland. Metallurgy after each industrial revolution has become an increasingly strong strategic branch of industry. The national economy of any country cannot develop without securing supplies of steel and other metal products. Construction, transport, infrastructure development and various services and separate industries would VXͿHU7KHUHIRUHEHFDXVHRIWKHDERYHWKLVDUWLFOHDLPVWRDQDO\VLVRIFKDQJHVLQ metallurgy in the three decades 1990-2020, with a particular emphasis on changes that are part of the wide range of innovations of modern enterprises in the global economy. The technological investments implemented, especially in recent years, DQGWKHVFRSHRIDFWLYLWLHVLQWKHÀHOGRI5 'DUHDFKDQFHWREXLOGVWHHOZRUNV in Poland. However, it should be emphasised that the Polish steel industry is made up of foreign capital groups (the largest steel plants are owned by foreign capital). Steel producers in Poland are in the structures of international capital groups with a high position in the global steel market. The development of the Polish steel sector is presented on the basis of statistical data. The chapter is a retrospective analysis in the period from 1990-2000. The stages of the evolution of the Polish steel industry were described in the context of Industry 4.0.

### **Unsustainable Development: a Case Study of Urban Planning History and Pandemic Trends in the United States by Warren S. Vaz**

 The United States saw unprecedented growth after World War II in several key sectors including transportation. The boom in population was accompanied by a rise in huge, sprawling suburbs around hundreds of major cities.
