Abstract

The issue of inhabitants’ participation in policy making is becoming more and more important in the practice of Polish cities. It should be noted, however, that the undertaken initiatives can be both optional or resulting from the national regulations. Therefore the experience of different cities in terms of citizen involvement and empowerment of the process of local development are very diverse. In order to promote good practices we need to systematize knowledge relating to the topic in question. We also need to analyze strategic documents elaborated by cities and initiatives realized in practice. The article aims – at least partially – to fill in the gap existing in the presented scientific field, based on examples from the region of Silesia. It focuses on civic participation in the local policy in selected Silesian cities: Rybnik, Czestochowa and Dabrowa Górnicza.
