The last years of economic and social development in Poland have revealed that design can be a powerful approach in regional innovation, especially when it comes to the contribution of the creative class in building a new identity for neglected places on the post-socialist’ country map. However, it could not be achieved without the government support so it is important to formalize activities of leaders with the provisions of the political strategy. One of the most interesting regions, which are recently significantly changed in Poland under the influence of creative activities in the field of design is the Province of Silesia. Thus, it is worth raising the subject of regional development by good practices in design, carried with the government support.
