• The purpose of the article is to present the essence and significance of social participation in the revitalization process as well as the implementation of its objectives by territorial self-government units. A hypothesis was advanced for the purpose of the article that without social engagement the achievement of the desired goal which consists in restoring the area subjected to regeneration will be very difficult. Methodology – The study was based on the survey of the literature on the subject, legal acts as well the information obtained by the author of the article on the activities with regard to social participation carried out in territorial self-government units. Results of the research – The concentration of social problems in the inner city of Łódź is of a multifaceted character (it refers to various aspects of life concerning inter alia education, financial stabilisation, the level of affluence, the occurrence of pathological phenomena) and at the same time progressive (the social problems which emerged were not systematically solved and thus there was an escalation of negative phenomena over the course of time). The conducted study indicates that the current level of involvement of the inhabitants of Łodź in the affairs connected with revitalization is relatively low. From year to year the awareness regarding the important role of society in the revitalization process is rising. It is reflected in the increasing number of inhabitants who participate in the social activities offered by the self-government. The City inter alia organises meetings, workshops, and consultations. The global Covid-19 pandemic has not resulted in giving up the said activities.
