Authors: , ,
Abstract: Social participation in contemporary concepts of city management plays an important role in the process of building future-oriented city development strategies based on co-creation, cooperation and co-management. The aim of the article is to define the scope of social participation of the inhabitants and their future orientation in the context of shaping urban development in Poland. The article presents the results of research conducted among 516 Polish inhabitants. In the study, methods of literature analysis and diagnostic survey (CAWI technique) were used. The results of the research are an attempt to integrate social participation and future orientation. They can be useful for city decision-makers who see the need for wider social involvement in the process of shaping cities’ future. The results provide information to what extent and with what tools of social participation it is possible to effectively involve future-oriented stakeholders. At the same time, the results indicate what should be the participation of individual social groups in the city development process so that it is socialised. The obtained results may serve as an important determinant for city authorities in the process of strategic management of city development based on social participation.
