      abstract = {The paper attempts to evaluate the potential and  importance of agriculture in the two largest  (post)industrial metropolitan areas of Europe. It has been  demonstrated that urban agriculture constitutes an  important spatial component of studied urban organisms, as  almost 40% of these consist of agricultural land. Analysis  of chosen characteristics of agriculture in the researched  metropolitan areas explicitly shows that their agricultural  potential is comparable to the overall regions where they  are located. This mainly concerns the average size of  farms, the employment ratio and the intensity of both  animal and plant production. The studies also led to the  conclusion that, in spite of very similar natural  environments, agriculture in the Ruhr Metropolis is  characterized by significantly higher production potential  than agriculture in the Upper Silesian Metropolis.},
