Summary/Abstract: The Urban Regeneration Law of 9 October 2015 brought about the strengthening of the importance of participation of various stakeholders in the process of developing revitalization programs and their subsequent implementation. The legislator also defined the formal framework for building co-operation between non-state actors and local authorities in the process of revitalization so that they became equal partners with specific competences, rights and responsibilities. Each revitalization program further specifies them by completing the statutory framework agreed upon in accordance with local needs. That is why it can be assumed that the revitalization program – developed in the participatory procedure – is a kind of social contract. The aim of this article is to present its characteristics from this point of view and to define the social and economic consequences of such an assumption.
