Abstract

Increasingly often, residents of Western European cities want to have a voice in the appearance of public spaces. The popularity of citizens’ budgets among local governments is growing. A participatory budget is an initiative with huge potential and it may be the beginning of changes in the city
management system. There are still too few green areas in Polish cities. In Olsztyn, the share of green areas (including the municipal forest) amounts to about 24%. Despite several compensatory plantings, there have still been too few actions taken with respect to green areas. The article outlines a proposal for allocating a part of the citizens’ budget to a green budget due to an excessively low, i.e. around 13%, share of projects concerning green areas. Actions
were proposed which could be carried out as part of the green participatory budget in the city of Olsztyn.
