As a result, they were affected by many negative phenomena. The COVID-19 pandemic has started socio-economic changes, the current predominant assessment of which is negative. Nevertheless, for Polish STs, instead of short-term reworsening their supralocal situation, these changes may turn out to be beneficial in the longer term. The article presents the expectations and observations of authorities in the field of pandemic-induced changes in the relations between their STs and the supralocal environment, as well as the planned, strategic reactions. The results of the research allowed conclusion that the changes in question in combination with the planned reactions have a significant stimulating potential in terms of LD. The article ends with recommendations for the use of information contained in the post-pandemic strategic governance of STs, in creating anti-crisis policies of states and in teaching practice}, title={Will small towns benefit?
