| Résumé: |
Large urban regeneration works are a contemporary themes in Poland. Parts of Polish cities are in a state of decay due to historical factors and large amounts of money are invested in revitalisation programs. Furthermore, the holding of large events in the last ten years, such as the European Capital of Culture 2016 in Wrocław and the 2012 European Football Championship, accentuated the need of regeneration. However, those programs aren’t spared by critics, especially regarding their lack of integration of local communities in the process. This paper analyses several alternative projects, where local communities were directly included to an artistic regeneration process at the scale of the backyard in Wrocław. Through literature reviews, interviews and field observation, this work identified several factors that influenced the success of those participatory projects. An appropriate budget and time dedication, a follow-up of the project once it is achieved and coherent actions from the municipality regarding those projects are central in the setting-up and successful completion of community based projects, even though the social context of the allotment is also to be taken in account. |
