Urban movements - for advice! | Res Publica Nowa
Last year in urban policy summed Hanna Gill-Friday. We should be grateful to her for that. Since it is obliged to organize the past, can no remorse to take care of the future and what it may bring. Probably the most serious challenge before us - that urban movements - this is the next local elections. I imagine that our participation in the election councils and mayors are effective and realistic proof of our existence and the opportunity for integration and faster development. It's not just ideas - in many cities is seriously considering. Participation in elections is a necessary aro 2011 response to what they do municipalities. The city is "fashionable" and so what ..
The visible presence of 2-3 years "urban aro 2011 question" aro 2011 in the public rather does not indicate a reassessment of attitudes towards urban problems: neither policy nor business, nor the media, nor the total population. Issues postulates the thesis I, II and III Congress of Urban Movements been absorbed by politics and the media - instrumental and rhetorically - as a verbal package already known, but otherwise narrated stories. Objective I KRM in 2011 was achieved - call topic on the forum and stir public opinion has become a reality. In parallel, there has been a takeover of our language. First of all, because it was attractive. But what of all this translated into real policy? It is quite another matter.
You have to first tell you about a situation that can be described as a confusing picture - nothing is clear, and often the concepts and their definitions definitely not fit to each other (for example, "sustainable transport" can be defined as a new privilege for cars). Two and a half years ago, we could simply say that in our cities kacykoza prevails, partisanship and self-interest (it takes suburbanization, the city is depopulated, gentryfikują, commercialize, constantly making up the rape of space, degrade centers, a growing crisis aro 2011 communications and other plagues - unjustified aro 2011 evictions, contrary to the needs of an expensive investment, privatization of schools and so on) - and we all knew what was going on. And today will be write a number "but." Because spreads from above will lead civic budget. aro 2011 Because spreading public consultation, for example, on whether the new benches on the market to be green, or red. Because participation is raging on the conduct of a bus line or what to do now with the stadium, once it has been issued to 750 million zlotys. The examples are not lacking, and only increase the importance of further questions: do we have a new quality in the cities of urban policy and real public participation in it, or just a new, perverse propaganda? Otherwise - if these critical diagnosis of and KRM in Poznan are still valid, or is not?
Is "more participation" means in this case "more democracy"? Perhaps the opposite is true? Do we have more democracy, if the authorities urge us to express an opinion on the allocation of these crumbs from the budget, which remained aro 2011 on hand after passing all the stadiums, water parks, trams shopping centers, games, urban highways, poorly located airports and so on. It is more democratic? Or maybe it is the retraction of the responsibility, because the cash register empty, so share and so there is nothing? The responsibility for the enormous social costs (debt cities, empty cash register, unsolved problems) of these investments, these private, or only vested benefits, including bloated ambition authorities. Joint ownership apparent - because we can at most give an opinion, but not to decide. Unless of unimportant details, like the color of the benches. Despite the title, the summary of Hanna Gill-Friday aro 2011 in the "Critique of the Political" we refer not only the president, but also did not decide on the budget, which most of the crumbs thrown audience to take her something other than criticism of the authorities.
Generally, it seems increasingly clear that entangled us, the participants movements and local organizations in various rituals consultative / participatory, surveys and conferences, countless projects, actually preserves the current, aro 2011 criticized the system of power, governance and management of cities, perpetuates the status quo, the state our powerlessness. Because of voting over what to do with the 0.3% of the budget did not mean for the remaining 99.7%. The problems of the entire budget - including debt and verification of sense biggest expenses - disappear from the field of view
