This publication is intended primarily for local governments who want to incorporate new technologies into participation in a planned and effective way. Here you will find an abundance of practical information and
advice on how to implement and manage e-participation platforms, how to effectively talk to residents using such a platform, and how to use their ideas to improve the quality of local life. I am convinced that the
book may also be of interest to community organisations, researchers, and citizens interested in the topic of e-participation. The combination of actual implementation practices with theoretical reflection may make the idea of e-participation inspiring for all those interested in co-creating a democratic political culture in Poland. We need ever better and more inclusive democratic co-governance, also at the level of local government.
