In the public sector there is a significant aversion to strategic management (we defined it in our research as being the everyday effort to reach long term and measurable goals) and also particularly to benchmarking (a structured comparison to find good practices). The main aim of this article is to introduce the result of the study focused on Czech cities: The benchmarking of integrated approaches to city development and it's utilization in strategic management.

The results are as follows: 1) the utilization of benchmarking was approved 2) several recommendations for cities were established, which were, in particular cases, implemented 3) possible weak strategic positions are very often connected with a lack of interest of the responsible political representation in strategic management.
