Summary/Abstract: The article addresses social participation in the creation of city strategies for the capitals of Polish voivodeships. The main research problem is the assessment of the relationship between the document's socialization process and its final version. The analysis showed that local authorities socialize the process ofcreating strategies, but the range of methods used to engage residents is varied. Analysis of selected case studies also showed that strategic documents that were prepared in a socialized way do not change their char-acter as a result of final public consultations.
