Public Participation practice versus economic pressure: transformation of the Gdansk Coastal Strip

Abstract

The paper focuses on the issue of public participation in the areas that are particularly sensitive to the transformation processes based on the case study of Gdańsk Coastal Strip. Moreover the article presents the outcome of an innovative attempt at promotion of public participation introduced in university education that was built on the experiences gathered during elaboration of the pro publico bono project of the Coastal Strip development in Gdańsk. The main goal of the research is to prove the importance and necessity of inhabitant involvement in strategic planning to achieve the highest possible standards of urban spatial development, especially under the newly-formed planning system in Poland. Methods used in the research are based on multidisciplinary literature studies and detailed case study of the Gdańsk Coastal Strip. The method expresses the involvement of students in the on-going process of forging a new strategy for public green urban areas under transformation. Integrating a practical approach with rather idealistic visions proposed by students resulted in a strengthening of the public debate. The findings of the research shows that under circumstances where there is little interest in real participation, empirical evidence suggests that the investment and management of urban green areas can be considered as an effective factor in the building of a civil society.
