The Comprehensive Plan was first adopted by the Poland citizens in 1991. In 2000, the citizens of Poland approved several amendments to the plan. Those amendments included updated data on the population, natural resources, economy, and public facilities and services. The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to guide future development within Poland and to meet its unique characteristics. The following section contains the most important elements of the Comprehensive Plan. The following sections outline the city's goals, policies, and strategies.
Housing - In 2000, Warsaw reported 2,316 housing units. The number of residents grew by 22% from 1990 to 2000. There were three-hundred new housing units built in the city between 2000 and 2007. The city continues to build new housing in the suburbs and for future development. Health-care services are accessible to residents and are free of charge. Medical research facilities are also widespread. In Warsaw, medical services are available to most citizens, including at hospitals, outpatient clinics, and clinics.
Ethnic diversity - In 2000, there were 39.4 million people in Poland, with between 38.1 and 38.5 percent being ethnic Poles. Because the boundaries of the country often shift, many Poles claim membership in more than one ethnic group. Some may not wish to have their ethnic origin recorded. For this reason, a map of the population is useful to locate the exact population of any city.
