In 2016, the title of the European Capital of Culture was awarded to Wrocław. To celebrate the year of 2016 citizens could partake in many cultural initiatives prepared specially for this occasion. The proposals aimed at the people of Wrocław included the ECC 2016 Microgrants program, under which any citizen could realize, gain funding, as well as obtain administrative and promotional support for their designed cultural activity. Field studies conducted during the first two editions of the program served as the basis for a report, which includes conclusions regarding the perception of the urban space submitted by task performers. Low-budget cultural activities proved to be an excellent pretext for the citizens to reconsider the issues of public space in Wrocław, access to cultural events or the manner of constructing official discourses about the city and its space. This article focuses on the issue of space in the context of Microgrants 2016 and presents the outcomes of the fieldwork.

Nowadays, making cities more attractive is becoming increasingly important. Cities are shrinking, which contributes to many other problems major cities are currently facing. Local governments try to mitigate their negative effects by making their cities more attractive to the young. One of the ways of doing so, is to utilize already possessed resources. In this short article, the author analyzes the promotion of the river Odra during the European capital of culture held in Wroclaw in 2016 and compares it with river themed events organized during the previous year (2015). She also analyzes the river’s attractiveness to the young, as they are the city’s target group in terms of preventing Wroclaw’s shrinkage. She also concentrates on the phenomenon of shrinking cities. In conclusion, the article tries to prove that Wroclaw’s main river, the Odra, is utilized not only by governmental bodies but also private and individual initiatives. The young inhabitants of Wroclaw see and acknowledge its importance to the city, and what is more, it has become a place for everyone, regardless of age, gender or hobby. However, its media presence should be emphasized more in the future, during international festivals or cultural events such as the European Capital of Culture.

The EU’s cultural initiative ‘the European Capital of Culture’ (ECOC) includes high identity political aims. It requires the designated cities to introduce and foster local, regional, and European cultural identities. In addition, the cities have used the designation as an opportunity to promote national cultural identity. Audiences of the ECOC events recognize and interpret different kinds of representations of territorial cultural identities from what the cities have to offer in culture. However, the contents of these interpretations vary drastically in the ECOCs. The article discusses whether the competence of interpreting the representations of territorial cultural identities is related to some social determinants of the audiences. Based on a questionnaire study conducted in recent ECOCs-Pécs (Hungary), Tallinn (Estonia), and Turku (Finland)-the study indicates that, for example, education, source of livelihood, and active cultural participation impact the interpretations of the representations of territorial cultural identities.

Rozwój miasta jest efektem wpływu wielu czynników, które pozostają pod większą lub mniejszą kontrolą władz samorządowych. Kreowanie polityki lokalnej to bezpośrednie i pośrednie oddziaływanie na czynniki zorientowane przede wszystkim na osiągnięcie korzyści dla mieszkańców. Opracowanie na ma celu identyfikację współzależności zachodzących między kulturą a rozwojem społeczno-gospodarczym miasta. Autorzy dokonali rozważań teoretycznych oraz zastosowali metodę studium przypadku, ilustrując omawiane zjawiska na przykładzie miasta Łodzi, które wykorzystuje kulturę w procesach generowania rozwoju oraz kreowania marki terytorialnej. Artykuł pokazuje potencjał kultury w procesach rozwoju terytoriów oraz rekomenduje jej pełniejsze wykorzystanie przez władze samorządowe nie tylko w procesach komunikowania z mieszkańcami, czy potencjalnymi użytkownikami, ale również w procesach katalizowania potencjałów rozwoju miast.

There are many factors that remain under greater or lesser control of local authorities that effect the development of the city. Local policy creation is a direct and indirect impact mainly on factors oriented primarily at achieving benefits for residents. The study aims to demonstrate the important role of culture in the socio-economic development of the territory. The authors have made theoretical considerations and applied the case study method illustrating the discussed phenomena on the example of the city of Lodz, which uses culture in the processes of generating development and creating a territorial brand. The paper shows the potential of culture in the development processes of territories and recommends its wider usage by local governments not only in the processes of communication with residents or potential territorial users, but also in the processes of catalysing the potential of urban development.

W artykule podjęto próbę systematyzacji sposobów konceptualizacji pojęcia kultury przez jej rzeczywistych i potencjalnych konsumentów. Rozumienie kultury traktujemy jako poznawczy element postawy, który jest powiązany z praktykami uczestnictwa w kulturze. Badania jakościowe, prowadzone w ramach ewaluacji Europejskiej Stolicy Kultury Wrocław 2016, pozwoliły zidentyfikować cztery odmienne sposoby rozumienia kultury, które określają nadawany jej sens, znaczenie oraz sposoby uczestnictwa. W konkluzjach omawiamy zasadnicze czynniki różnicujące podejście do kultury. Wskazujemy także, że skuteczna polityka zorientowana na zwiększanie uczestnictwa w kulturze nie może ograniczać się do tworzenia oferty, ale powinna uwzględniać także kształtowanie i upowszechnianie inkluzywnych sposobów rozumienia kultury.

This article aims at systematizing the conceptualizations of the notion of culture by its actual and potential consumers. We treat the understanding of culture as attitude’s cognitive element associated with the practices of cultural participation. The qualitative research undertaken as a part of the European Capital of Culture Wrocław 2016 evaluation has identified four different ways of understanding culture, which refer to its meaning and significance as well as to the manner of cultural participation. We discuss the main factors that differentiate the approach to culture. We conclude by pointing out that an effective policy of increasing cultural participation cannot be limited to creating a cultural offer, but should also shape and promote the inclusive ways of understanding culture.
