Profil ideowy miejskiego aktywizmu w Polsce

Abstrakt

The paper concerns the ideological profile of urban movements in Poland. In the first part, the author defines
the concept of urban movement based on the related literature and outlines the history of the urban matter
in Poland. Then, attempts are made to reconstruct the ideological profile of urban activism. This is done on
the basis of an analysis that includes the main ideas to which urban activists refer (right to the city, idea of
particular narratives, city-view) as well as the urban theses that include the postulations developed by the
Congress of Urban Movements being the effect of consolidation activities in the Polish urban movements’
environment. In conclusion, the key groups of postulations formulated by activists in Polish cities are analysed
through the perspective of the views contained in the main contemporary political doctrines.
