Prawo do miasta i obietnica koprodukcji

Abstract

The paper focuses on the two fields of public practices and academic reflections: the right to the city and co-production. The right to the city promises a participatory democracy, but actually urban movements enhance a representative democracy. Co-production, as a formula of planning and delivering public services/policies which assumes active contribution of citizens, including towns ’ inhabitants, offers real opportunities to fulfill this promise. It is because co-production reconciles an institutional logic of a representative democracy and direct citizens’ involvement that is specific to participatory democracy.
