Odgórna aktywizacja czy oddolna aktywność? Studium przypadku partycypacji społecznej młodzieży w kształtowaniu kierunków rozwoju Warszawy
Top-down Activation or Bottom-up Activity? A Case Study of Youth Social Participation in Shaping Warsaw’s Development Directions

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to analyse the social participation of youth in Warsaw in shaping the city’s development directions. The article is based on a review of the literature and in-depth, semi-structured interviews conducted with a purposefully selected group of experts. The analysis reveals that the city has established formal structures to support youth social participation; however, doubts remain regarding their actual effectiveness and the scope of agency of city youth councils. The study also examines youth participation in urban movements, indicating that young people are present only in those urban movements that specifically target them, for instance, through activities on social media.
