Abstract

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this article has been to present the genesis and development of the Polish National Cittaslow Network and China National Cittaslow Network and to draw the attention to the differences in the Polish and Chinese ‘slow city’ model. The period of analysis is 2007 to 2021. The research methods included a critical analysis of the literature and source materials (statutes, regulations and other strategic documents of the association), comparative analysis and case study. The main differences between the Polish and Chinese Cittaslow Network are related to cultural differences between these countries, with the different political system and administrative division. The model of development of Cittaslow in Poland is closer to the European ‘slow city’ model.  The Chinese network is at the stage of searching for individual solutions adequate to the social, cultural and economic realities of the country.
