Summary/Abstract: The Act of 9th October 2015 on revitalization sets out the principles and procedures for the preparation, conduct and evaluation of revitalization. Among the principles of revitalization, legal norms of particular importance for the process of interpretation and application of this law mention the principle of social participation. According to the aforementioned provision the municipal authorities perform public tasks in the area of revitalization: „with the active participation of stakeholders at every stage (social participation)”. This is one of several legal principles expressed expressis verbis in this legislative act. The principle of social participation means the need to allow residents to participate in revitalization. The authorities of the municipality can do this in various forms (eg social consultations, revitalization committees). The author of the article is interpreting the provisions of the Act on revitalization, other laws, as well as judicial decisions to determine the legal consequences of violating the principle of social participation in revitalization.
