- Summary/Abstract:The Tri-city, and in particular Sopot, is a pioneer in the development of the institution of the participatory budgeting (named civic budget) in Poland. Each of these cities, based on the experience of Porto Alegre, has developed its own rules for participatory budgeting eliminating the elements of deliberation in the budgetary procedure, which is the main defect of that institution. Despite certain regulations common to each city, significant differences can be identified between legal solutions adopted in Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot. They mainly concern: the scope of admissible projects, people eligible to participate in project submissions and voting, voting procedures, and - most importantly - the amounts allocated for civic projects and the possibility of carrying out projects for the whole city.

- Summary/Abstract:Participatory budgets are an important and necessary tool for building grassroots democracy. Determining ways to meet your own needs and goals by residents is a very effective way to change urban space. A civic budget as a special kind of consultation brings many social benefits but also generates conflicts. Analyzing individual solutions, as well as analyzing specific examples of the implementation of this process, may translate into creating a catalog of good practices. As the example of Chmielna Street shows, the cooperation between project originators and city authorities during the whole process is very important. A civic budget is a tool that can be effectively used to increase social activity and revitalization.
