Participation is an indispensable element of the development and implementation of revitalisation programmes. It allows for a correct diagnosis of problems and for the development of revitalisation projects that will aim at solving them. The implementation of the Revitalisation Act in Poland obliged local governments to involve stakeholders more actively in the process of preparation and implementation of revitalisation programmes. The Act guarantees participation at every key stage of the process. In current Polish circumstances this is a change in the right direction, as such participation was not always ensured in previous financial perspectives. However, the law does not guarantee that a participation process is real and efficient rather than only “checking off” the procedural requirements. Based on these premisses, this article discusses the subject of participation in revitalisation programmes, both in theoretical terms (how participation in a revitalisation can be organised; considering the legal conditions, what obstacles to the implementation of a participatory approach to the development of revitalisation programmes can be diagnosed in Poland) and the practice of programming in selected cities of the Lesser Poland and Mazovia regions (what forms and tools of participation were used at each stage of the revitalisation programme development, does the scope of participation influence the structure of revitalisation projects). Such research objectives determine the research methods used to prepare this article, i.e. a critical analysis of the source literature pertaining to the subject, web and desk research, a comparative analysis of the revitalisation programmes of selected cities, an analysis of the results of an Internet survey among city authorities and participatory observation.
