The global economic crisis that hit all the national economies in the EU area stimulated the need for new approaches in the planning and implementation of regional development policy. This paper investigates the debates about the role of the city of Riga and its development potential as the biggest city in Latvia, whilst also looking at the challenges and opportunities created by the need to respond to global changes. The article discusses the relevance of certain factors and demonstrates the actions taken by national authorities to promote the more balanced development of Latvia, as well as the opportunities to apply a place-based approach in promoting the development of Riga as the capital city of Latvia.

Globalny kryzys gospodarczy, który dosięgnął gospodarek krajów Unii Europejskiej, unaocznił potrzebę nowego podejścia do planowania i realizacji polityki rozwoju regionalnego. Artykuł analizuje dyskusję dotyczącą znaczenia Rygi - jako największego łotewskiego miasta - i jej potencjału rozwojowego w kontekście wyzwań i możliwości związanych z koniecznością reagowania na globalne zmiany. W artykule omówiono znaczenie niektórych czynników mających wpływ na obecną sytuację, a także przedstawiono działania podjęte przez władze krajowe w celu równoważenia rozwoju na Łotwie. Ponadto ukazano możliwości zastosowania podejścia ukierunkowanego terytorialnie w promowaniu rozwoju Rygi jako stolicy Łotwy. (abstrakt oryginalny)
